20     THE  SLOCUMS,  SLOCUMBS,  AND  SLOCOMBS,  OF  AMERICA. 


THE  RESEARCHES  IN  ENGLAND. 

When  in  England  in  1879  tne  writer  passed  several  weeks  en- 
deavoring to  ascertain  the  early  history  of  the  Slocombes.  Much 
time  was  spent  in  the  British  Museum  Library,  London,  and  a  tour 
was  made  through  central  and  southwestern  England.  In  my 
rambles  over  the  hills  and  through  the  combes,  or  valleys,  several 
parishes  were  visited  in  hope  of  finding  something  definite  in  the 
registers  concerning  those  who  founded  the  name  in  America 
about  the  year  1637 ;  but  those  books,  when  found  of  a  period 
antedating  that  year,  were  generally  in  such  bad  condition  from 
long  neglect  in  damp  and  mouldy  corners  of  churches  as  to  be 
mainly  illegible.  In  the  Parish  of  Huish  Champflower,  Somerset- 
shire,— about  fifteen  miles  west  of  Taunton, — the  family  was  early 
prominent  judging  from  the  list  of  wills  seen  at  Taunton  ;  and  the 
name  was  found  in  someof  the  legible  parts  of  records  in  the  earliest 
register,  but  to  no  purpose.  The  oldest  well-preserved  register  ex- 
amined bore  date  from  "Anno  Regni Elizabeths Primo,A.  D.  1558." 
This  was  in  Clatworthy  Parish— adjoining  Huish  Champflower — 
where  the  name  first  appeared  at  a  date  later  than  the  first  emi- 
gration to  America  ;  see  Appendix  —name  of  Robert  Slocombe. 
Durston  Parish  was  visited  but  the  old  registers  could  not  be  found. 

That  there  were  several  families  of  the  name  in  the  vicinity  of 
Taunton  in  the  West  Division  of  Somersetshire  in  the  sixteenth 
and  seventeenth  centuries,  is  proven  by  the  following  list  of  wills 
which  I  collected  in  the  Taunton  Probate  Office,  viz.  : —

RESEARCHES  IN  ENGLAND  CONCERNING  THE  ANCESTORS.  21 

Not  feeling  inclined  at  the  time  of  my  visit  to  give  continued 

personal  attention  to  the  old  records  in  Somersetshire,  I  did  not 

look  for  these  wills  amongst  the  old  and  rather  carelessly-kept 

papers  at  Taunton.     Upon  visiting  Wells  two  wills  were  there 

found  registered.    An  English  genealogist,  Captain  A.  E  Lawson 

Lowe,  was  afterward  engaged  to  continue  the  investigation,  and, 

after  visiting  those  places,  he  reported  to  me  as  follows : — 

"The  wills  proved  in  a  number  of  old  courts  were  deposited  in  the 
District  Probate  Court  at  Wells.  The  principal  of  these  are  (i)  the 
Consistory  Court  of  the  Lord  Bishop  of  Wells;  (2)  Consistory  Court 
of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Wells ;  (3)  Consistorial  Archidiaconal 
Court  of  Wells  ;  and  (4)  Consistory  Court  of  the  Dean  of  Wells.  The 
first  of  these  is  said  to  date  from  1543,  but  there  are  only  a  very  few 
wills  prior  to  about  the  year  1600.  In  this  Court  only  two  wills  of 
Slocombes  were  found,  viz. : — 

1.  "The  will  of  Charity  Slocombe,  of  the  parish  of  Old  Cleave,  in  the  county  of 
Somerset,  widovy,  is  dated  November  21st,  1642.  She  devises  20  shillings  to  the 
poor  of  Old  Cleave,  and  20  shillings  to  the  poor  of  Gothurst.  To  her  brother, 
Aldred  Bickham,  her  sister,  Joane  Studdier,  and  her  kinswoman,  Isoll  Oatford,  she 
gives  a  piece  of  gold  to  each.  She  devises  small  legacies  to  Richard  Bickham  and 
John  Studdier,  the  younger.  To  Isoll  Bickham  she  gives  '  a  hood  and  safe  gard 
and  petecoat  and  wascoat,  and  one  handkercheife  with  a  broad  lase.'  To  her  kins- 
woman, Mary  "Wills,  of  Envier,  widow,  she  gives  her  'best  cloake.'  To  Mary  Gey, 
she  gives  her  'best  hatt,'  her  'ould  petecoat  and  one  doulis  smock  and  a  blew  apron 
and  an  under  coat  of  gingerline.'  She  also  gives  legacies  to  Anne  Sully,  the  daughter 
of  Thomas  Sully,  and  to  Mary  Willis.  To  each  of  her  god  children  she  gives  two 
shillings,  and  gives  ten  shillings  to  be  distributed  amongst  her  brother  Aldred  Bick- 
ham's  servants,  that  is  twelve  pence  to  each.  The  whole  residue  she  gives  to  her 
son,  Giles  Slocombe,  whom  sTie  appoints  her  sole  executor.  This  will  was  proved 
January  26,  1643." 

2.  "The  will  of  Robert  Slocombe,  the  elder,  yeoman,  of  Plainsfield  within  the 
parish  of  Over  Stowey,  is  dated  February  14,  1670.  He  names  as  heirs  his  sons, 
Humphrey,  John,  and  William  Slocombe,  and  his  grand-children  Robert,  Richard 
Joane,  and  Elizabeth  Slocombe,  and  also,  several  persons  of  other  names.  An 
inventory  of  his  personal  goods,  dated  May  13,  1670,  and  amounting  to  ^222. 5.5-.  od. 
is  annexed." 

"  In  the  calendars  of  the  second  named  Court,  which  embraces  few 
wills  and  does  not  date  back  beyond  1660,  the  three  following  names 
were  found,  all  of  the  parish  of  Bishop's  Lydeard,  viz  :  George  Slo- 
combe, 1707;  Richard  Slocombe,  1729;  and  Elizabeth  Slocombe,  1730. 
These  are  'administrations'  only,  and  contain  no  genealogical  particu- 
lars. They  are,  moreover,  too  late  to  be  of  any  service  in  the  present 
enquiry,  but  serve  to  show  the  existence  of  a  family  of  the  name  at 
Bishop's  Lydeard,  5^  miles  N.  W.  of  Taunton." 

"The  third  Court  that  I  have  mentioned  also  dates  from  1660,  and 
no  reference  to  any  person  of  the  name  was  to  be  met  with  in  the  books 
belonging  to  the  same."

Preface. 


This  book  is  the  result  of  a  desire  which  was  awakened  in  the 
mind  of  the  writer  some  years  ago  to  know  more  regarding  his 
ancestry  than  could  be  learned  from  his  immediate  relatives,  and  of 
the  stimulation  this  desire  has  received  from  the  genealogical  his- 
tories which  have  been  published,  especially  during  the  last  decade. 
The  work  in  its  present  extent  and  form  far  exceeds  my  earlier 
anticipations ;  but  one  step  encouraged  another  until  there 
seemed  no  other  course  to  take  than  to  publish  my  gleanings 
that  those  who  have  become  interested  in  my  labors  might  share 
in  the  result  of  them.  I  have  been  aware,  however,  that  this  publi- 
cation will  interest,  particularly,  only  those  whose  names,  with  the 
names  of  their  ancestors,  are  recorded  in  it ;  and  in  this  connection 
it  seems  desirable  to  state  that  I  was  not  actuated  to  these  re- 
searches by  a  hope  that  vast  unclaimed  estates  could  be  found,  or 
that  pecuniary  profit  would  in  any  way  accrue  to  me.  The  work 
was  engaged  in,  and  has  been  prosecuted,  wholly  in  the  spirit  of 
legitimate  genealogical  research  ;  and,  as  in  most  undertakings 
of  the  kind,  the  subcriptions  for  the  book  do  not  pay  even  the 
expense  of  its  publication  to  say  nothing  of  the  far  greater 
expense  which  has  attended  its  preparation.  But  should  the 
attention  thus  called  to  the  subject  have  an  influence — even 
slight  and  in  limited  circles — to  stimulate  commendable  family 
pride  and  emulation,  and  incline  the  younger  members  of  the 
families  more  to  the  paths  of  higher  culture  and  to  the  religion 
of  the  early  fathers  that  they  may  guard  with  zealous  care  the 
honor  and  fair  fame  of  the  name  they  bear,  then  the  considerable 
amount  of  time  and  money  which  the  work  has  cost  will  not 
have  been  expended  in  vain. 

The  difficulties  which  are  met  with  in  gathering  material  for 
a  work  of  this  character  are  very  great.  The  quaint  lines  of 
Anthony  a  Wood  (1632-1695)  relative  to  antiquarian  research 
in  his  time  are  fully  applicable  here,  for  "  a  painful  work  it  is,  and

selves or  from  their  relatives  or  friends.  To  induce  fullness, 
system,  and  accuracy  in  those  reports,  a  large  blank-form  con- 
taining a  list  of  fifty-eight  questions,  and  an  extended  explanatory 
circular,  were  distributed  to  all  persons  bearing  the  name  Slocum, 
Slocumb,  or  Slocomb,  and  to  the  families  allied  to  these  names, 
whose  addresses  could  be  ascertained  from  relatives,  friends, 
genealogists,  postmasters,  and  directories.  A  few  of  the  packages 
thus  sent  out  were  returned  by  postmasters,  showing  that  those 
for  whom  they  were  intended  had  either  died  or  changed  their 
residence.  Others  have  been  retained  by  those  addressed,  or 
their  relatives,  together  with  the  addressed  envelopes  and  stamps 
enclosed  for  their  return,  and  notwithstanding  the  subsequent 
sending  of  two  additional  circulars,  and  in  many  instances  letters, 
with  special  requests  for  reports.  Most  of  the  blanks,  however, 
have  been  returned  with  many  of  the  questions  carefully 
answered,  and  I  desire  here  to  express  my  thanks  to  all  who 
have  thus  aided  and  encouraged  me  in  the  work.  In  an  especial 
manner  would  I  acknowledge  the  kindly  interest  manifested  in 
my  labors  by  Judge  William  Henry  Slocum  of  Ocean  Port, 
N.  J.,  Mr.  Lewis  Henry  Slocum  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  Dr.  Alfred 
Marshall  Slocum  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Mr.  John  Slocum  of 
Wyoming,  R.  I.,  Miss  Lida  Swan  Slocum  of  Ashland,  Ohio, 
Mrs.  Margaret  Almy  of  South  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  and  Mr. 
Humphrey  H.  H.  C.  Smith  of  Detroit,  Mich.,  who,  with  great 
and  continued  courtesy,  have  answered  my  many  letters  and 
questions  and  contributed  much  information  concerning  the 
families  of  their  immediate  relatives,  and  in  some  instances  much 
relating  to  other  families  in  their  respective  communities.     I  am

also  indebted  to  many  young  men  and  women  for  reports  which 
but  for  them  would  not  have  been  received.  The  interest 
manifested  in  the  work  by  the  young  people  has  been  particularly 
cheering  to  me  and  is  considered  a  good  omen  for  the  family 
name.  I  also  gratefully  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  a  number 
of  voluntary  contributions  from  gentlemen,  residing  in  different 
parts  of  the  country,  who  are  interested  in  genealogical  studies 
but  who  are  not  related  to  these  families. 

The  research  and  the  efforts  to  make  this  a  full  and  trust- 
worthy genealogical  history  have  probably  been  as  thorough  as 
in  most  undertakings  of  the  kind  ;  and  it  is  believed  that  no 
considerable  number  of  families  have  borne  the  surname  Slocum, 
Slocumb,  or  Slocomb,  in  America  who  are  not  herein  represented. 
Completeness,  however,  may  be  considered  an  impossibility  in  a 
work  of  this  character,  covering  so  many  years  and  with  so  many 
scattered  families  and  lost  records,  and,  withal,  where  so  many 
who  could  aid  in  the  work  are  disinclined  to  do  so.  Where  the 
records  or  reports  have  been  fragmentary  or  indefinite  marks  of 
doubt  (?)  are  inserted,  particularly  if  any  inference  is  expressed. 
Wherever  present  time  is  intimated  the  reader  may  understand 
that  the  year  1880  is  the  time  referred  to. 

It  is  thought  that  the  arrangement  of  the  genealogy — which 
differs  but  little  from  the  plan  used  in  the  Register  of  the  New 
England  Historic,  Genealogical  Society, — is  as  simple  as  it  can 
well  be  and  still  be  complete.  References  from  the  children  of 
families  in  the  different  generations  forward  to  the  biographical 
sketches  of  the  same  can  readily  be  made  by  means  of  the  Arabic 
numerals  opposite  the  names  and  the  corresponding  numerals 
over  the  sketches.  It  has  been  my  aim  to  keep  the  style  of  these 
sketches  simple  and  clear  and  to  avoid  prolix  and  laudatory  histo- 
ries. Those  who  may  regret  the  brevity  of  the  sketches  given 
of  their  ancestors  will  please  consider  that  the  facts  necessary  for 
a  full  and  authentic  history  have  been  wanting.  I  regret  that 
more  details  have  not  been  ascertained  in  many  cases,  particu- 
larly concerning  those  who  are  deceased  ;  but  it  is  an  axiom, 
probably  more  applicable  to  the  past  than  to  the  present,  that 
much  of  that  which  is  of  most  value  in  the  lives  of  mankind  is 
seldom  permanently  recorded  and  does  not  long  survive  them. 
And  with  the  imperfect  and  careless  manner  of  recording  and 


12  PREFACE 

preserving  vital  statistics  which  still  prevails  in  most  families  it 
would  not  be  strange  that  the  dates  of  their  births  and  deaths 
should,  after  a  length  of  time,  become  known  only  by  tradition  ; 
and  eventually,  that  varying  rumor  dying,  even  their  very  names, 
the  last  that  memory  retains  of  them,  may  also  fail  among  men 
and  they  that  are  become  as  unknown,  and  past  finding  out,  as 
though  they  had  never  lived.  There  are  many  still  who  agree,  in 
theory  and  practice,  with  Sir  Thomas  Browne  (1605-1682),  anti- 
quary and  physician,  who,  in  his  Discourse  on  Sepulcral  Urns 
(1648),  looked  upon  the  disregard  of  ancestors  as  unavoidable  by 
the  masses  though  not  without  regret  for  the  few,  saying :  "  Our 
fathers  find  their  graves  in  our  short  memories  and  tell  us  how 
we  may  be  buried  in  our  survivors.  Oblivion  is  not  to  be  hired. 
The  greater  part  must  be  content  to  be  as  though  they  had  not 
been,  —  to  be  found  in  the  register  of  God,  not  in  the  record  of  man." 

Care  has  been  exercised  to  maintain  correct  orthography  in 
names.  It  is  probable,  however,  that  errors  will  be  found  in  this 
particular  as  the  writing  has  been  obscure  in  many  records.  In 
cases  of  doubt  regarding  the  less  common  christian  names  the 
vocabularies  of  names  in  Webster  s  Dictionary,  Arthur  s  Diction- 
ary of  Family  Christian  Names,  and  the  History  of  Christian 
Names*  have  been  taken  as  guides  so  far  as  practicable  ;  but 
these  publications  have  been  of  no  usefor  those  names  so  written 
as  not  to  indicate  the  sex  of  those  who  bear  them,  and  for  many  of 
the  modern  aestheticisms  and  pet  names,  as  well  as  for  a  number  of 
names  obtained  from  sources  unknown  to  the  writer,  and  where 
only  the  initials  were  given  in  the  report. 

Palfrey,  in  his  History  of  New  England  (1859),  states  that 
there  is  probably  not  a  county  in  England  which  is 
occupied  by  a  population  of  purer  English  blood  than  is  that  of 
the  New  England  people.  The  same  may  as  truly  be  said  of 
many  of  the  Slocums  of  to-day,  and  of  all  until  a  few  later  inter- 
marriages. The  last  common  ancestor,  Giles  Slocombe,  removed 
from  England  in  the  time  of  the  absolute  and  despotic  reign  of 
King  Charles  I,  and  settled  in  Portsmouth  Township,  Rhode 
Island.  Two  of  his  sons  reared  families  in  Rhode  Island, 
two    others    in    Dartmouth    Township,    New    Plymouth,    now

Massachusetts,  and  one  in  Shrewsbury  Township,  East  New 
Jersey.  Of  those  descendants  who  remained  about  Narragan- 
sett  Bay,  Rhode  Island,  and  those  who  resided  near  Buzzard's 
Bay,  Massachusetts,  many  have  been  sea-faring  men, — very 
many  of  these  becoming  master-mariners  in  different  branches 
of  the  service, — sailing  through  every  sea.  The  largest  portion 
of  the  descendants,  however,  have  been  engaged  in  agricultural 
pursuits,  and  in  the  succeeding  generations  many  have  kept 
abreast  of  the  emigration  westward,  and  have  acted  important 
parts  as  pioneers  in  subduing  the  forests  and  in  developing 
America's  unequaled  resources.  The  descendants  have  not  been 
so  numerous  in  the  aggregate  as  have  those  of  some  other  names. 

The  reader  should  bear  in  mind  that  the  style  of  dates  intro- 
duced into  Roman  Catholic  countries  by  Pope  Gregory  XIII, 
A.  D.  1582,  was  not  adopted  by  England  and  her  Colonies  until 
the  year  1752  ;  and  previous  to  this  year  the  dates  are  in  the 
Old  Style — the  year  commencing  with  the  25th  day  of  March, 
and  March  being  called  the  First  month  of  the  year  and  Febru- 
ary the  Twelfth.  The  inconvenience  resulting  from  the  use  of 
both  styles  in  Europe  at  the  same  time,  gave  rise  to  the  frequent 
expression  of  both  years  in  all  dates  between  the  1st  of  January 
and  the  24th  of  March, — as  "  the  7th  of  First  month  commonly 
called  March,  163I"  (1637-8).  The  old  or  Julian  Calendar  may 
be  made  to  correspond  with  the  new  or  Gregorian  Calendar  by 
adding  ten  days  to  the  dates  between  A.  D.  1582  and  1701,  and 
eleven  days  to  dates  between  A.  D.  1700  and  September  2d,  1752. 

A  careful  study  of  the  history  of  any  family  for  a  period  of 
two  hundred  and  forty  years,  or  of  a  much  shorter  time  indeed, 
will  furnish  abundant  illustrations  for  the  sociologist  and  the 
moralist.  It  has  been,  however,  no  part  of  the  writer's  plan  to 
comment  or  to  moralize,  but  simply  to  record  the  more  general 
facts  as  they  have  been  found.  Of  the  Slocum  Family  it  may  be 
said  that  the  teachings  and  examples  of  the  Society  of  Friends 
during  the  earlier  generations  still  have  their  influence  on  the 
character  of  most  of  the  descendants,  however  scattered  and 
affiljated  with  other  organizations.  As  a  people  they  have  been 
comparatively  free  from  aspiration  for  political  and  other  public 
favors,  and  it  is  here  stated  with  gratification  that  criminal  taint 
has  rarely  if  ever  tarnished  the  family  name.     So   far   as  the 


14  PREFACE. 

writer's  acquaintance  extends  the  families  have  very  generally 
been  religious,  moral,  and  thrifty  ; — have 

"  held  the  golded  mean, 
And  lived  contentedly  between 

The  little  and  the  great ; 
Felt  not  the  wants  that  pinch  the  poor, 
Nor  plagues  that  haunt  the  rich  man's  door. 

Embittering  all  his  state." 

The  name  Slocum  has  an  honorable  record  in  every  one  of  our 
Country's  wars,  from  early  Colonial  times.  Notwithstanding  the 
teachings  of  the  Society  of  Friends, — of  which  the  earlier 
Slocums  of  America  were  all  members, — the  name  was  quite 
well  represented  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  in  the  War  of 
1812.  The  number  of  Slocums  engaged  in  the  War  against 
the  Southern  Rebellion  (1861-65)  was  relatively  large,— in  some 
instances  three,  four,  and  even  five  sons  of  a  family  entered  the 
service, — and  their  patriotism  and  valor  were  well  tried  and  found 
not  wanting.  The  history  of  these  soldiers  is  not  so  generally 
and  fully  given  here  as  I  have  desired;  and  a  number  whose 
lives  were  sacrificed  on  the  altar  of  their  Country — and  whose 
names  are  recorded  in  the  United  States  Roll  of  Honor* — are  not 
connected  with  their  ancestors  on  these  pages  for  want  of  proper 
reports.     See  Appendix. 

"  There  is  a  moral  and  philosophical  respect  for  our  ancestors 
which  elevates  the  character  and  improves  the  heart."  "Any 
labor  that  adds  to  our  knowledge  of  the  descent  of  a  family  or 
gathers  the  scattered  facts  of  a  genealogical  line  into  a  simple 
history,  is  of  the  highest  value  and  deserving  of  the  warmest 
praise."|  All  that  is  good  and  exemplary  in  the  lives  of  man- 
kind should  be  recorded  with  as  great  care,  at  least,  as  is  the 
appraisement  of  their  pecuniary  estates,  and  cherished,  that  the 
children  and  the  children's  children  to  the  latest  time  may  have 
the  examples  for  their  instruction  and  emulation.  It  is  not  too 
much  to  hope  that  the  family  records  of  the  future  may  be  so 
complete  as  to  be  valuable  also  for  studies  of  heredity  or  the 
law  of  transmission  of  the  physical  and  psychical  qualities  of 
parents  to  their  offspring.

By  way  of  explanation  to  those  subscribers  who  have  been 
desirous  for  the  early  appearance  of  the  book,  I  will  state  that 
the  delay  of  one  year  or  more  in  its  publication  has  been  due  to 
dilatory  correspondents,  to  delays  on  the  part  of  the  printer,  and 
the  desire  of  the  writer  to  make  the  volume  as  complete  as 
possible.  These  delays  have  resulted,  however,  in  the  extension 
of  the  plan  of  the  work  so  as  to  include  the  Slocumb  and  Slo- 
comb  families,  and  in  the  addition  of  many  details  to  different 
parts  of  the  work. 

Reports  are  still  solicited  from  all  persons  who  can  add  to  this 
history — by  the  correction  of  any  error  that  may  be  found  on  its 
pages,  or  by  additional  items  that  may  be  suggested  by  its 
perusal  or  in  any  way  brought  to  light.  Should  sufficient 
additional  matter  be  thus  obtained,  supplementary  pages  will  be 
published  for  all  who  possess  the  book. 

Finally,  I  can  but  express  the  hope  that  I  may  yet  have  the 
pleasure  of  personally  meeting  the  many  excellent  people  whose 
courteous  communications  have  given  me  a  feeling  of  acquaint- 
anceship with  and  of  friendship  towards  them  which  will  remain 
a  bright  page  in  my  memory.

INTRODUCTORY. 


ETYMOLOGY  OF  THE  SURNAMES  SLOCOMB, 
SLOCUMB,  AND  SLOCUM. 

Several  theories  have  been  advanced  relative  to  the  mode  of 
origin  of  the  surname  Slocum,  but  the  promulgators  of  most  of 
these  theories  have  fallen  into  the  error — to  use  the  words  of 
Lower  in  his  Patro?iymica  Britannica  concerning  many  of  the 
statements  made  in  Bowditch's  book  on  the  surnames  of  Suffolk 
County,  Mass., — of  regarding  the  apparent  rather  than  the  actual 
derivation  and  original  meaning  of  the  name. 

When  arranged  according  to  their  etymology  all  surnames  are 
divisible  into  five  classes,  viz.  :*  (i)  Baptismal  or  personal  names 
(Patronymics)— as  Thomson,  from  Thomas'  son ;  Fitzgerald, 
Gerald's  son  ;  Powell,  from  Ap-Howell  (Howell's  son),  etc.,  in 
great  variety.  (2)  Names  derived  from  place  (local  surnames). 
(3)  Names  from  office — as  Earl,  Knight,  Marshall,  Spencer, 
from  "Despencer"  (Dispenser),  Squire,  etc.  (4)  Names  from 
occupation — as  Cook,  Gardiner,  Shepherd,  Sherman  from 
Shearman,  etc.  (5)  Soubriquet  or  nicknames — as  Brightman, 
Russell,  Brown,  Morell,  etc.  "  The  names  of  local  origin  bear 
by  far  the  larger  proportion  to  the  whole."  To  this  class  belong 
Hill,  Athill,  Field,  Wood,  Washington,  Townsend,  Holcombe, 
Slocombe,  and  numerous  others  that  will  readily  come  to  mind. 

The  surname  Slocombe  probably  originated  from  an  abundant 
growth  of  the  Sloe  f  in  one  of  the  numerous  Combes  (cup-shaped

Icy,  M.  A.;  2d  ed.,  London,  1875.     Also  Lower's  Paironymica  Britannica. 

f  The  Sloe  is  the  fruit  of  the  English  wild  spiny  Plum-tree  which  is  also  known  as 
the  Sloe-tree,  Sloe-thorn,  and  Black-thorn.  The  fruit  was  so  named  from  its  pecu- 
liar astringent  action  on  the  mouth,  known  in  English  as  "setting  the  teeth  on  edge," 
hut  which  is  conceived  in  other  languages  as  blunting  them  ;  hence,  harsh,  blunt  or

depressions,  ridgy  hollows,  or  valleys  in  the  hills,)  of  south-western 
England,  hence  called  the  Sloe  Combe,  and  the  man,  John,  resid- 
ing in  that  locality,  becoming  designated  as  John  at  the,  or  of 
the,  Sloe-combe.     Thus,  in  the  most  natural  manner,  the  require- 

dull,  is  the  primary  signification  of  the  word.  The  botanical  name  of  the  tree  is 
Primus  spinosa  of  the  Natural  Order  Rosacea.  The  various  properties,  medicinal 
and  other,  of  this  small  tree — including  its  wood,  bark,  leaves,  flowers  and  fruit, — 
have  been  discussed  and  employed  from  the  earliest  period  of  history.  It  was  first 
recorded  in  Asia  where  the  name  primus  (proui/inos)  originated,  and  it  was  introduced 
into  Great  Britain  early  in  the  history  of  that  Island,  if,  perchance,  it  was  not  indig- 
enous there,  and  from  it  have  been  propagated  all  of  the  varieties  of  English  culti- 
vated plums  (Primus  domes  tied).  It  is  found  in  the  different  countries  of  Europe, 
and,  sparingly,  in  the  middle  United  States.  It  grows  usually  from  ten  to  fifteen 
feet  in  height  ;  is  seldom  seen  over  twenty  feet  though  it  may  occasionally  attain  the 
height  of  thirty  feet.  The  branches  are  numerous  and  end  in  a  spine.  The  leaves 
are  dark-green,  somewhat  obovate  (improperly  shown  in  the  frontispiece  as  ovate- 
lanceolate),  smooth  and  downy  beneath,  and  sharply  serrate.  The  flowers  appear 
before  the  leaves,  are  small,  snow-white,  and  solitary  ;  calyx  campanulate  with  lobes 
blunt  and  longer  than  the  tube.  The  fruit  is  small,  globose,  black  when  npe,  and 
covered  with  a  beautiful  blue  bloom  ;  is  very  austere  to  the  taste  and  only  palatable 
with  a  large  quantity  of  sugar,  or  after  a  frost.  In  France  the  unripe  fruit  has  been 
used  as  a  condiment,  when  pickled  with  salt  and  vinegar,  like  olives.  It  has  also 
been  employed,  when  crushed,  as  a  black  dye.  "  In  domestic  economy  a  very  good 
preserve  is  made  of  the  ripe  fruit"  (?).  In  Germany,  Russia,  and  England,  the  juice 
of  the  ripe  fruit,  expressed  in  water  on  account  of  its  very  viscid  nature,  has  been 
fermented  and  distilled  into  spirits  ;  it  has  also  been  used  to  color  and  impart  rough- 
ness to  port  wine,  and  in  the  manufacture  of  a  spurious  port.  By  the  addition  of 
sulphate  of  iron,  a  "beautiful  black  ink  with  indelible  properties"  has  been  made  of 
this  juice.  The  juice  of  unripe  fruit,  evaporated  to  dryness  by  gentle  heat,  forms 
the  German  acacia  which  was  formerly  sold  under  the  name  of  Egyptian  acacia,  and, 
on  account  of  its  astringent  property,  was  employed  in  mucus  diarrhea,  dysentery 
and  other  bloody  discharges.  The  dried  leaves  have  a  pleasant  aromatic  flavor  and 
were  considered  at  one  time  the  best  substitute  for  Chinese  tea  that  had  been  tried  in 
Europe  ;  but  they  fell  into  disfavor  from  their  astringent  action,  and  their  clandestine 
use  in  the  adulteration  of  Chinese  tea.  The  fruit,  bark,  and  leaves,  have  been  known 
as  a  styptic  at  least  from  the  time  of  Dioscorides  and  Galen — Greek  and  Roman 
medical  writers  who  flourished  in  the  second  century  of  the  Christian  era — who 
included  them  in  their  materia  medica.  Though  an  active  astringent  before  fully 
ripe,  the  fruit  becomes  laxative  when  beginning  to  soften  from  decay  ;  and  the  flowers 
and  their  calyxes  have  also  been  employed  as  a  mild  purgative.  The  bark  held  at 
one  time  a  prominent  place  in  the  materia  medica  as  a  febrifuge,  and  as  a  bitter  tonic. 
A  decoction  of  the  bark  has  been  used  for  the  tanning  of  leather,  and  also  as  a  yel- 
low dye  when  mixed  with  an  alkali.  "  The  Sloe-shrub  forms  a  better  dead  hedge  than 
Hawthorn,"  but  when  alive  the  root^  have  too  great  a  tendency  to  spread  and  sprout 
to  be  popular  around  cultivated  fields.  "Throughout  Europe  walking  sticks  were 
formerly  more  frequently  taken  from  the  upward  shoots  of  the  Sloe-tree  than  from 
any  other.  The  bark,  which  is  precisely  of  the  color  of  the  horse-chestnut  fruit  and 
as  smooth  and  bright,  needs  no  polish  ;  and,  ornamented  by  the  numerous  knots,  the 
stick  is  the  very  prettiest  that  can  be  conceived."  (Cobbett's  Woodlands).  The  Sloe- 
shrub,  when  well  cared  for,  forms  a  pleasing  ornament  to  lawns.  The  blossoms  appear 
before  the  leaves  and  present  a  beautiful  and  welcome  appearance  in  the  early  spring  ; 
and  they,  with  the  fruit,  have  been  objects  of  frequent  allusion  by  the  English  song- 
writers.

ments  of  increasing  population  and  the  changes  in  orthography 
permanently  fixed  Slocombe  as  the  hereditary  surname  of  the 
family.*  The  name  has  been  very  uniformly  printed  as  Slocombe 
in  England.  But  once  have  I  found  it  spelled  otherwise  and  that 
as  "  Slocum  "  in  the  report  of  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of  Devon- 
shire in  the  year  1620,  as  published  by  the  Harleian  Society, 
London,  1872.  The  clerks  of  different  records  and  places  in 
New  England,  however,  wrote  the  surname  of  the  first  American 
families  in  various  ways,  principal  among  which  were  Slocomb, 
Slocome,  Slocom,  Slocumb,  Slocume,  and  Slocum.  The  form 
"  Slocum "  became  well  established — as  shown  by  various 
records — before  the  year  1700,  and  has  been  quite  uniformly 
adhered  to  by  the  descendants  of  Giles2  Slocombe  (see  sketch 
No.  2)  who  settled  in  what  is  now  Portsmouth  Township,  Rhode 
Island,  in  the  year  1638  (?),  and  died  there  in  the  year  1682. f 

icon  Farmers'  Encyclopedia,  3d  edition,  Philadelphia,  1844,  writes  that  "the  Amer- 
ican species  of  Sloe-shrub  belong  to  the  Viburnum  family,  and  are  not  to  be  con- 
founded with  the  hedge  Black-thorn." 

*  Surnames  were  first  employed  in  England  about  A.  D.  1050,  but  their  use  was 
confined  to  a  few  persons  for  three  centuries  or  more  thereafter  and  then  the  custom 
gradually  spread  amongst  the  different  classes. 

Many  Hollanders  of  the  early  emigrations  to  New  York — in  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury— possessed  but  one  name  ;  see  the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical 
Record,  vol.  I.  In  the  wilder  districts  of  Wales  the  people  have  not  yet  adopted  the 
use  of  surnames  ;  see  Chambers'  Encyclopedia,  ed.  1880. 

Edgecumbe  House  in  Devonshire,  England,  derived  its  name  from  its  location  at 
the  beginning  of  a  valley — edge  of  the  "cumb,"  or  "combe," — extending  from  the 
parish  Church  of  Molton  Abbot  to  the  River  Tamar,  a  distance  of  about  two  miles. 
Part  of  the  present  house  was  erected  by  "  Richard  de  Eggecumbe,"  A.  D.  1292. 

The  great  number  of  names  of  persons  and  places  in  Devon  and  Somerset,  England, 
in  which  the  word  "combe"  enters,  is  particularly  noticeable  to  all  who  have  occa- 
sion to  consult  directories  or  maps  of  those  counties. 

f  Very  few,  if  any,  surnames  have  escaped  the  greatest  diversity  of  spelling,  and 
many  have  become  fixed  in  forms  different  from  the  originals.  The  name  "Seymour  " 
was  derived  from  St.  Maur  the  name  of  a  town  in  Normandy,  France.  The  name 
Larcom  was  formerly.  Lacombe  (Burke),  and  "Orcutt"  was  derived  from  Harcourt. 
In  the  Genealogical  Memoir  of  the  Newcomb  Family,  published  in  1874  by  John  B. 
Newcomb  of  Elgin,  Illinois,  we  are  informed  that  he  has  found  his  surname  written 
Neweom,  Newcome,  Newcomb,  Newcombe,  Newcum,  Newkom,  Newkum,  Nucom, 
Nucome,  Nucombe.  Nucomb,  Nucuni,  etc.  In  the  New  England  Historical  and 
Genealogical  Register  for  1S77  we  read  that  the  name  Cressey  has  been  found  written 
in  twenty-three  different  ways,  and  from  another  source  we  are  informed  that  the 
name  Shirecliff  has  been  found  spelled  in  fifty-five,  and  the  name  Mainwaring  iri 
one-hundred-and-fifty-one,  different  ways.  The  word  Combe  was  often  written  in 
the  Domesday  Book  of  England  (A.  D.  1 080-1086)  as  "come"  and  "cume";  comb- 
wick  as  "  comich  "  and  "commiz,"  etc. 

Some  families  hold  a  tradition  that  three  Slocombe  brothers  first  came  to  America, 
and,  before  separating,  entered  into  an  agreement  to  spell  their  surname  differently 
that  the  descendants  of  each  could  the  better  be  distinguished  ;  and  hence  the  forms 
Slocomb,  Slocumb,  and  Slocum,  as  now  held  in  America.  This  tradition  probably 
does  not  bear  a  very  early  date. 


20      THE  SLOCUMS,  SLOCUMBS,  AND  SLOCOMBS,  OF  AMERICA. 

THE  RESEARCHES  IN  ENGLAND. 

When  in  England  in  1879  tne  writer  passed  several  weeks  en- 
deavoring to  ascertain  the  early  history  of  the  Slocombes.  Much 
time  was  spent  in  the  British  Museum  Library,  London,  and  a  tour 
was  made  through  central  and  southwestern  England.  In  my 
rambles  over  the  hills  and  through  the  combes,  or  valleys,  several 
parishes  were  visited  in  hope  of  finding  something  definite  in  the 
registers  concerning  those  who  founded  the  name  in  America 
about  the  year  1637;  but  those  books,  when  found  of  a  period 
antedating  that  year,  were  generally  in  such  bad  condition  from 
long  neglect  in  damp  and  mouldy  corners  of  churches  as  to  be 
mainly  illegible.  In  the  Parish  of  Huish  Champflower,  Somerset- 
shire,— about  fifteen  miles  west  of  Taunton, — the  family  was  early 
prominent  judging  from  the  list  of  wills  seen  at  Taunton  ;  and  the 
name  was  found  in  someof  the  legible  parts  of  records  in  the  earliest 
register,  but  to  no  purpose.  The  oldest  well-preserved  register  ex- 
amined bore  date  from  "Anno  Regni Elizabethce Primo ,  A.  D.  1 558." 
This  was  in  Clatworthy  Parish— adjoining  Huish  Champflower — 
where  the  name  first  appeared  at  a  date  later  than  the  first  emi- 
gration to  America  ;  see  Appendix  —name  of  Robert  Slocombe. 
Durston  Parish  was  visited  but  the  old  registers  could  not  be  found. 

That  there  were  several  families  of  the  name  in  the  vicinity  of 
Taunton  in  the  West  Division  of  Somersetshire  in  the  sixteenth 
and  seventeenth  centuries,  is  proven  by  the  following  list  of  wills 
which  I  collected  in  the  Taunton  Probate  Office,  viz. : —

RESEARCHES  IN  ENGLAND  CONCERNING  THE  ANCESTORS.  21 

Not  feeling  inclined  at  the  time  of  my  visit  to  give  continued 

personal  attention  to  the  old  records  in  Somersetshire,  I  did  not 

look  for  these  wills  amongst  the  old  and  rather  carelessly-kept 

papers  at  Taunton.     Upon  visiting  Wells  two  wills  were  there 

found  registered.    An  English  genealogist,  Captain  A.  E  Lawson 

Lowe,  was  afterward  engaged  to  continue  the  investigation,  and, 

after  visiting  those  places,  he  reported  to  me  as  follows : — 

"The  wills  proved  in  a  number  of  old  courts  were  deposited  in  the 
District  Probate  Court  at  Wells.  The  principal  of  these  are  (i)  the 
Consistory  Court  of  the  Lord  Bishop  of  Wells;  (2)  Consistory  Court 
of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Wells ;  (3)  Consistorial  Archidiaconal 
Court  of  Wells  ;  and  (4)  Consistory  Court  of  the  Dean  of  Wells.  The 
first  of  these  is  said  to  date  from  1543,  but  there  are  only  a  very  few 
wills  prior  to  about  the  year  1600.  In  this  Court  only  two  wills  of 
Slocombes  were  found,  viz. : — 

1.  "The  will  of  Charity  Slocombe,  of  the  parish  of  Old  Cleave,  in  the  county  of 
Somerset,  widow,  is  dated  November  21st,  1642.  She  devises  20  shillings  to  the 
poor  of  Old  Cleave,  and  20  shillings  to  the  poor  of  Gothurst.  To  her  brother, 
Aldred  Bickham,  her  sister,  Joane  Studdier,  and  her  kinswoman,  Isoll  Oatford,  she 
gives  a  piece  of  gold  to  each.  She  devises  small  legacies  to  Richard  Bickham  and 
John  Studdier,  the  younger.  To  Isoll  Bickham  she  gives  '  a  hood  and  safe  gard 
and  petecoat  and  wascoat,  and  one  handkercheife  with  a  broad  lase.'  To  her  kins- 
woman, Mary  Wills,  of  Envier,  widow,  she  gives  her  'best  cloake.'  To  Mary  Gey, 
she  gives  her  'best  hatt,'  her  'ould  petecoat  and  one  doulis  smock  and  a  blew  apron 
and  an  under  coat  of  gingerline.'  She  also  gives  legacies  to  Anne  Sully,  the  daughter 
of  Thomas  Sully,  and  to  Mary  Willis.  To  each  of  her  god  children  she  gives  two 
shillings,  and  gives  ten  shillings  to  be  distributed  amongst  her  brother  Aldred  Bick- 
ham's  servants,  that  is  twelve  pence  to  each.  The  whole  residue  she  gives  to  her 
son,  Giles  Slocombe,  whom  sTie  appoints  her  sole  executor.  This  will  was  proved 
January  26,  1643." 

2.  "The  will  of  Robert  Slocombe,  the  elder,  yeoman,  of  Plainsfield  within  the 
parish  of  Over  Stowey,  is  dated  February  14,  1670.  He  names  as  heirs  his  sons, 
Humphrey,  John,  and  William  Slocombe,  and  his  grand-children  Robert,  Richard 
Joane,  and  Elizabeth  Slocombe,  and  also,  several  persons  of  other  names.  An 
inventory  of  his  personal  goods,  dated  May  13,  1670,  and  amounting  to  £222. $s.  od. 
is  annexed." 

"  In  the  calendars  of  the  second  named  Court,  which  embraces  few 
wills  and  does  not  date  back  beyond  1660,  the  three  following  names 
were  found,  all  of  the  parish  of  Bishop's  Lydeard,  viz :  George  Slo- 
combe, 1707;  Richard  Slocombe,  1729;  and  Elizabeth  Slocombe,  1730. 
These  are  'administrations'  only,  and  contain  no  genealogical  particu- 
lars. They  are,  moreover,  too  late  to  be  of  any  service  in  the  present 
enquiry,  but  serve  to  show  the  existence  of  a  family  of  the  name  at 
Bishop's  Lydeard,  5^  miles  N.  W.  of  Taunton." 

"The  third  Court  that  I  have  mentioned  also  dates  from  1660,  and 
no  reference  to  any  person  of  the  name  was  to  be  met  with  in  the  books 
belonging  to  the  same." 


22     THE  SLOCUMS,  SLOCUMBS,  AND  SLOCOMBS,  OF  AMERICA. 

"  The  fourth  named  Court  likewise  dates  from  1660,  and  in  one  of 
the  calendars  I  met  with  one  Slocombe  will,  viz :  Hugh  Slocombe,  of 
Carhampton,  1703.  This  was  all  that  Wells  afforded,  and  I  fear  that 
it  adds  little." 

"At  Taunton  I  was  disappointed  to  find  that  nearly  all  the  old  wills 
had  been  lost  or  destroyed.  At  some  period,  doubtless  during  the  Duke 
of  Monmouth's  rebellion  in  the  year  1685,  the  wills  and  other  docu- 
ments were  removed  for  safety  to  a  neighbouring  village.  It  is  said  that 
many  of  them  were  never  brought  back,  and  those  that  were,  were 
deposited  in  disorder  in  the  tower  of  St.  Mary's  Church,  where  they 
remained  for  some  years.  The  unfortunate  result  of  this  is,  that  with 
the  exception  of  a  few  odd  bundles  and  one  old  volume  into  which  some 
early  wills  have  been  copied,  there  are  no  wills  whatever  prior  to  the 
year  1660,  since  which  period  they  are  tolerably  perfect.  I  was  unable 
to  find  any  Slocombe  wills  amongst  the  few  old  ones  that  are  left,  and 
consequently  only  two  out  of  all  your  list  are  to  be  seen  at  this 
day,  viz : — 

1.  "The  will  of  Christopher  Slocombe  of  Durston  in  the  county  of  Somerset, 
husbandman,  is  dated  May  20,  1660.  He  devises  a  legacy  to  each  of  the  following 
persons  :  to  his  sister,  Anne  Slocombe  ;  to  John,  Deanes,  and  Margaret  Slocombe, 
his  brother's  children  ;  and  to  William,  Thomas,  Joane,  and  Susanna  Slocombe,  and 
styles  his  brother  'their  father.'  Margery,  his  wife,  he  appoints  his  sole  executrix. 
This  will  was  proved  at  Taunton  February  16,  1660-1." 

2.  "The  will  of  Robert  Slocombe,  the  younger,  of  the  parish  of  Over  Stowey, 
in  the  county  of  Somerset,  yeoman,  is  dated  August  22,  1660.  He  devises  legacies 
as  follows  :  to  Alice  (Sloadenby  ?),  daughter  to  his  brother  Richard  Slocombe  ;  to  his 
sister  Elizabeth,  wife  of  John  Howlase  ;  and  to  Humphrey,  John,  William,  and 
Joane  Slocombe,  his  brothers  and  sister.  He  gives  to  Robert  Slocombe,  the  elder, 
his  father,  all  the  lands,  meadows,  and  pastures,  which  he  holds  conjointly  with  his 
brother,  Richard,  and  appoints  his  father  his  sole  executor.  This  will  was  proved  at 
Taunton  December  7,  1660.  An  inventory  of  his  personal  goods,  dated  December 
5,  1660,  and  amounting  to  ,£74.00.00,  is  annexed." 

"The  absence  of  the  earlier  wills  at  Taunton  presents  a  formidable 
obstacle,  and  I  should  be  glad  of  your  opinion  as  to  the  best  course  to 
pursue  under  the  circumstances.  It  is  sufficiently  clear  that  no  further 
assistance  can  be  obtained  from  wills ;  and  the  only  available  source  of 
information  left  to  us  seems  to  be  the  parochial  registers  bearing  date 
from  a  sufficiently  early  period.  You  will  observe  that  the  name  of 
Anthony,  Edward,  or  Giles,  [the  founders  of  the  Slocum  family  in 
America]  does  not  occur  except  in  the  will  of  Charity  Slocombe,  of 
Old  Cleeve,  who  names  her  son  'Giles  Slocombe.'  This  was  in  Novem- 
ber, 1642,  and  Giles  Slocombe,  of  Portsmouth,  in  Rhode  Island,  is 
assumed  to  have  settled  in  America  before  that  time.  Now,  had  Charity 
Slocombe's  son,  Giles,  been  in  America  at  the  time  when  she  made  her 
will  she  would  hardly  have  appointed  him  her  sole  executor.  Ports- 
mouth, in  Rhode  Island,  is  said  in  your  letter  to  have  been  founded  in 
1638;  and  you  add  that  Giles  Slocombe  settled  there  at  that  time,  or 
soon  after.  If  it  be  possible  that  he  did  not  settle  there  until  1643,  he 
may  be   identical  with  this  Giles,  who  might  be  conjectured  to  have 


RESEARCHES  IN   ENGLAND  CONCERNING  THE  ANCESTORS.  23 

emigrated  so  soon  as  he  inherited  what  his  mother  had  to  leave.  She 
names  no  other  children,  but  as  there  is  evidence  that  Anthony  Slo- 
combe  was  in  America  in  1637,  and  Edward  Slocombe  may  have  also 
been  there  about  that  time,  it  might  reasonably  be  supposed  that  they 
were  likewise  her  sons,  and  their  absence  abroad  would  be  quite  sufficient 
to  account  for  the  omission  of  their  names  from  their  mother's  will. 
This,  of  course,  is  mere  conjecture,  based  upon  the  supposition  that 
Anthony,  Edward  and  Giles  were  brothers.*  You  will  judge  how  far  it 
is  reasonable,  and  whether  you  deem  that  this  clue  should  be  followed 
out.  I  will  find  out  when  the  registers  of  Old  Cleeve  commence  ;  but 
as  Charity  Slocombe  left  money  to  be  distributed  amongst  her  brother 
Aldred  Bickham's  servants,  and  as  three  of  the  Bickham  family  witness 
her  will,  she  very  probably  was  living  in  her  brother's  house  during  her 
widowhood,  and  we  are  again  at  a  loss  to  know  where  her  husband  had 
resided.  The  bequest  to  the  poor  of  the  parish  of  Goathurst  (5^  miles 
N.  of  Taunton)  must  not,  however,  be  overlooked  as  implying  some 
former  connection  with  that  place.  I  should  be  glad  of  your  opinion  on 
these  points." 

The  research  is  still  being  continued,  and  additional  reports 
are  expected.^ 

The  report  of  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of  the  County  of  Devon  in 
the  year  1620,  as  published  by  the  Harleian  Society,  London,  1872, 
informs  us  that  Roger  Dimond,  2d,  of  Tiverton,  married  Elizabeth, 

daughter  of  " Slocum  of  Devon,"  and  had  a  grand-daughter 

who  was  seven  years  of  age  in  1620.  Also  that  "John  Lande 
of  Tiverton  married  Maude,  daughter  of  Davy  Slocombe  of  Wis- 
combe,  County  Somerset,"  and  had  eight  children,  the  eldest, 
Dorothy,  being  twenty-one  years  of  age  in  that  year  (1620). 

Gordon  W.  J.  Gyll,  Esq.,  in  his  Histoty  of  Wraysbury 
Parish,  and  Town  of  Colnbrook,  Buckinghamshire,  published  in 
London  in  1862,  gives  the  name  of  John  Slocombe  who  died 
A.  D.  1607,  leaving  a  son  Edmund  who  was  baptized  14  Sep- 
tember, 1600,  and  died  in  1668  leaving  a  son  John  who  was 
living  in  Colnbrook  in  1682.  The  writer  visited  Wraysbury  in 
1879  DUt  could  learn  nothing  in  addition  to  the  above. 

*Mr.  Savage — in  his  New  England  Genealogical  Dictionary — presumed  that  An- 
thony and  Giles  Slocombe  were  brothers  but  he  found  no  positive  evidence  that  such 
was  the  relationship. 

fin  the  book  entitled  "Result  of  some  Researches  among  the  British  Archives 
for  information  relative  to  the  Founders  of  New  England,  made  in  the  years  1858, 
1859,  and  i860,"  by  Samuel  (I.  Drake  of  Boston,  we  read  that  "whoever  goes  to 
England  expecting  to  find  the  genealogy  of  any  particular  family  settled  in  New 
England  at  an  early  day,  is  pretty  sttre,  in  at  least  nine  cases  out  of  ten,  to  meet  with 

disappointment For  the  descendant  of  a  New  England  emigrant

24     THE  SLOCUMS,  SLOCUMBS,  AND  SLOCOMBS,  OF  AMERICA. 

Edmund  Slocombe,  "  a  citizen  and  habadasher  of  London," 
died  A.  D.  1668,  leaving  a  will  which  was  proved  in  the  Pre- 
rogative Court  of  Chancery  in  that  city  26  January,  1669.  His 
brother  John  was  one  of  the  executors  ;  and  the  heirs  named 
were  the  testator's  son  Edmund  and  daughter  Mary. 

The  "  Calendars  of  the  Proceedings  in  Chancery  in  the  Reign 
of  Queen  Elizabeth"  (A.  D.  1558-1603)  were  printed  in  three 
folio  volumes  in  1827-32.  On  page  68  of  volume  iii  the 
following  title  is  given,  viz.  :  "John  Slocombe,  plaintiff,  Thomas 
Slocombe,  defendant.  Object  of  suit  :  Claim  under  a  will,  and 
for  relief  against  fraudulent  practices  of  the  defendant  to  defeat 
the  same.  Premisses  ;  Lands  and  tenements  in  the  parish  of 
Whiteheythefyed,  and  Stogumber  Awlecombe  in  the  parish  of 
Dunster,  Wolston  in  the  parish  of  Bickenaller,  lands  called 
Cattes  Closes  and  Deane,  in  the  parish  of  Bisshopps  Liddiard, 
County  Somerset." 

In  Brendon  Parish,  Lynmouth,  Barnstaple,  Devonshire,  there 
are  two  hamlets  called  Upper  and  Lower  Slocombeslade,  or 
Slocomslade.  "  Slade  "  signifies  a  meadow,  and  it  is  inferred  that 
the  hamlets  derived  their  name  from  the  proprietor  of  the 
meadow  lands  on  which  they  were  built.  The  dates  of  their 
origin  are  unknown  to  the  writer.  On  account  of  an  arbitrary 
ruling  of  the  authorities   at  Exeter,  relative  to  the  copying  of 

day  !  As  the  great  body  of  emigrants  to  New  England  took  no  pains  to  transmit  to 
their  descendants  any  account  of  their  ancestors,  or  even  the  places  whence  they 
came,  it  is  pretty  evident  they  had  nothing  to  expect  from  the  one,  or  any  special 

regard  for  the  other Parish  registers  seldom  indicate  any  connection 

with  the  so-called  higher  classes." 

William  Courthorpe,  Somerset  Registrar  of  the  College  of  Arms,  London,  has 
also  expressed  himself  frankly  on  this  subject,  as  follows  :  "  Seldom  or  never  can  we 
connect  the  families  of  emigrants  to  America  as  early  as  the  year  1645  with  their  rela- 
tives in  England  ;  they  were  probably  designedly  left  out  of  the  English  pedigree, 
and  unless  they  carried  with  them  to  their  adopted  country  a  clue  to  their  English 
ancestry  it  was  soon  lost  altogether."     See  The  Douglas  Genealogy. 

Apropos  to  this  subject  are  the  statements  of  the  distinguished  English  historian, 
Edward  A.  Freeman,  who  has  proved  most  positively  that  few  families  in  England, 
even,  could  trace  a  descent  from  scions  of  the  fourteeth  century,  and  he  mentions 
only  some  five  or  six  families  whose  history  could  be  proved  as  belonging  to  the  time 
of  William  the  Conqueror.  As  to  those  who  could  show  that  their  ancestors  were  of 
true  Saxon  blood  before  the  Conquest,  there  were  only  two  or  three  in  all  England. 
The  history  of  a  family  is  always  exceedingly  difficult  to  trace,  and  often,  when  it  is 
lost,  inventive  power  comes  in,  and  ingenuity  supplies  the  facts.  Innumerable 
English  genealogical  trees  were  shattered  by  Mr.  Freeman's  expose.  He  further 
states  that  the  '  Domesday  Book '  (A.  D.  1080-1086)  alone  upsets  in  a  moment 
countless  false  pedigrees  ;  but,  without  some  other  evidence,  it  gives  very  little  help 
toward  establishing  a  true  one.     See  The  New  York  Times,  1880. 


THE  FIRST  SLOCOMBE  COAT  OF  ARMS.  2$ 

records  or  making  extracts  from  them,  nothing  can  be  done  at 
present  with  the  wills  in  Devonshire  if  there  be  any  there  of 
interest  to  this  enquiry. 

It  is  inferred  from  an  examination  of  the  directories  of  a 
number  of  English  cities  and  counties,  and  from  enquiries  made 
in  different  parts  of  Great  Britain,  that  the  name  Slocombe  is 
not  very  common  there  at  the  present  time. 


COAT  OF  ARMS. 

The  Coat  of  Arms  of  "Slocombe  of  Somersetshire,"  roughly 
sketched  with  pen  and  ink  has  been  seen  by  the  writer  in  the 
British  Museum  Library,  London,  in  Harleian  MS.  No.  1385 
which  represents,  in  part,  the  report  of  the  Heralds'  Visitation 
of  Somersetshire,  England,  about  the  year  1573.  This  coat  of 
arms  is  described  in  the  larger  books  on  heraldry  as  follows  : — 

"Argent  on  a  fess  gules  between  three  griffins'  heads  couped  sable,  as 
many  sinister  wings  or.  Crest — A  griffin's  head  gules  between  two  wings 
expanded  or."  * 

A  careful  search  was  instituted  to  determine  the  names  of  the 
ancestors  and  descendants  of  its  owner,  but  without  success. 
Upon  visiting  the  College  of  Arms  I  was  informed  by  the  Herald 
in  charge  that  there  is  now  no  claimant  for  this  coat  of  arms  ; 
and  he  exhibited  a  copy  of  "  the  only  coat  of  arms  now  belonging 
to  a  Slocombe  family  in  England,"  which  is  very  different  from 
that  above  described,  and  was  granted  in  the  year  1672 — a 
generation  after  the  first  emigration  to  America — to  David 
Slocombe  of  the  Parish  of  Bishop's  Lydeard,  Somersetshire, 
who  gave  the  name  of  his  father  as  David  Slocombe  but  did  not 
give  the  name  of  his  grandfather.  This  coat  of  arms  is  not 
described  in  the  general  publications  on  heraldry.  Whether  the 
first  grant  lapsed  with  the  emigration  to  America,  or  otherwise, 

* x Argent — silver;  gules — red;  couped — cut  off  smooth;  sable — black;  or — gold. 
The  fess  is  a  broad  band  crossing  the  middle  of  the  shield  laterally,  and  "represents 
the  waist-belt  or  girdle  of  honor  which  was  one  of  the  insignia  of  knighthood." 
A  griffin  is  a  chimerical  creature  retained  from  ancient  times,  and  is  most  frequently 
represented  with  the  body  and  legs  of  a  lion,  and  the  head,  neck  and  wings,  of  an 
eagle,  with  ears.  The  classical  conception  of  this  character  was  watchfulness, 
strength,  and  swiftness.

is  not  known  to  the  writer.  .An  engraving  of  it  is  presented  as 
a  frontispiece  to  this  book  according  to  the  copy  tricked  in  the 
Harleian  MS.  and  the  description  given  in  the  books  on  heraldry, 
with  the  addition  of  foliage  under  the  shield.  Various  forms  of 
scroll  with  motto,  or  other  ornamentation,  have  been  represented 
extraneous  to  the  shield  and  crest,  the  device  being  often  chosen 
with  reference  to  some  characteristic,  real  or  fancied,  of  the 
person  or  family  bearing  the  arms.  There  being  nothing  of  the 
kind  found  in  this  case  I  have  had  engraved  a  representation  of 
sprigs  of  the  Sloe-tree  in  flower,  leaf,*  and  fruit,  as  significant  of 
the  origin  of  the  name  Slocombe. 


THE  FOUNDERS  OF  THE  SLOCUM  FAMILY  IN 
AMERICA. 

The  name  Slocum  (Slocombe)  first  appeared  in  America,  so 
far  as  the  writer  has  been  able  to  determine,!  with  the  persons 
of  Anthony,  Giles,  and  Edward  Slocombe.  The  relationship 
that  existed  between  them  has  not  been  definitely  ascertained.^; 
The  name  of  the  ship  in  which  they  were  passengers  from 
England  and  the  date  and  place  of  their  landing,  are  also  lost 

*The  leaves  of  the  Sloe-tree  (Primus  spinosd)  are  rather  obovate  in  form,  not 
ovate-lanceolate  as  shown  in  the  frontispiece.- 

f  The  name  of  "  Dauey  [Davey]  Slawcome,  Carpenter,"  appears  in  a  list  of  names 
with  the  following  heading,  but  no  further  mention  of  him  has  been  found  :  "  These 
men  Whose  names  are  heere  vnder  written  belonginge  vnto  the  Friendshipe  of  Lon- 
don, nowe  ridinge  att  An  Ankere  in  the  reuer  of  Themes  bound  for  Vergenia  ; 
March  1636."  See  the  book  entitled  "The  Original  Lists  of  Persons  of  Quality; 
Emigrants  ;  Religious  Exiles  ;  Political  Rebels  ;  Serving  Men  sold  for  a  term  of 
years ;  Apprentices  ;  Children  Stolen  ;  Maidens  Pressed  ;  and  others  who  went  from 
Great  Britain  to  the  American  Plantations  from  A.  D.  1600  to  1700,  etc.,"  compiled 
from  MSS.  preserved  in  the  State-paper  Department  of  Her  Majesties  Public  Record 
Office,  England,  by  John  C.  Hotten,  1874.  This  publication  includes  the  names  of 
but  a  part  of  those  who  removed  to  America  in  the  seventeenth  century  ;  no  record 
has  been  found  of  the  larger  portion  of  them. 

\  The  tradition  that  three  Slocum  (Slocombe)  brothers  from  England  were  the 
founders  of  the  name  in  America,  is,  perhaps,  the  most  widely  held  of  all  the  various 
traditions  among  the  Slocums,  Slocumbs,  and  Slocombs,,  of  the  present  time. 

In  a  sketch  of  some  of  the  early  American  families  or  Slocums,  published  in  the 
New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register,  October,  1880,  I  classed  Anthony 
as  the  father  of  Giles  from  the  fact  of  his  having  referred  to,  his  sons  (grand-sons  ?) 
in  a  letter  (see  sketch  of  Anthony  Slocombe  ;  No.  i),  and  no  descendants  being 
found  other  than  from  the  children  of  Giles  ;  and  also  that  the  children  of  Giles 
succeeded  to  the  possession  of  the  land  where  Anthony  was  last  known  to  reside.

points  in  their  history,  and  probably  past  recovery,  as  is  the 
case  concerning  so  many  of  the  pioneers  to  America. 

Anthony  is  recorded*  as  one  of  the  first  purchasers  of 
Cohannet,  New  Plymouth,  now  Taunton  and  its  vicinity  in 
Massachusetts,  in  the  year  1637  ;  and  it  is  also  written  that 
most  of  the  "  first  and  ancient  purchasers'"  of  that  territory — 
several  of  whom  were  also  from  the  vicinity  of  Taunton,  Eng- 
land,— came  immediately  from  Dorchester,  Massachusetts,  where 
landings  were  made  from  the  year  1630. 

Giles  settled  in  Portsmouth  Township,  Rhode  Island,  in  the 
year  1638  (?),  and  there  died  in  1682. 

Edward  is  recorded!  as  one  of  the  two  "  Supvisors  of  the 
Highwaies  for  Tanton"  June  1,  1647.  His  name  does  not 
appear  in  the  list  of  inhabitants  over  sixteen  and  under  sixty 
years  of  age  who  were  subject  to  military  duty  in  Taunton  in 
the  year  1643  ;  nor  has  anything  further  been  found  definitely 
relating  to  him. 


THE  SLOCUMS  IN  RELATION  TO  THE  SOCIETY 
OF  FRIENDS. 

The  history  of  the  Society  of  Friends  in  New  England  dates 
from  the  year  1656,  and  some  points  in  this  history  are  here 
sketched  inasmuch  as  the  Slocombes  (Slocums)  early  became 
active  members  of  the  Society  and  the  succeeding  generations 
have  continued  their  membership  in  some  lines  to  the  present 
time. 

It  is  inferred  that  Giles2  Slocombe  (sketch  No.  2)  became  a 
member  early  in  the  Society's  history  in  Rhode  Island.  The 
records  of  the  Friends'  Monthly  Meeting  for  Portsmouth,  R.  I., 
are  preserved  only  from  the  date  of  Twelfth  month  10th,  1676, 
and  these  records  show  that  "  Giles  Slocum,  senior,"  was  a 
member  of  committees  in  the  business  of  the  Society.  In  his 
will,   dated    October    10,    1681,  he  remembered   his    "  Louing

friends  the  people  of  God  called  Quakers  "  with  a  bequest ;  see 
sketch  No.  2.  The  old  record  of  the  births  of  Friends'  children 
is  still  preserved  near  Newport.  It  begins  with  the  names  of 
two  children  born  in  the  year  1638,  three  born  in  1640,  and 
three  in  1642,— Johanna,  daughter  of  this  Giles  Slocum,  being 
one  of  the  number  born  in  the  last  named  year. 

The  government  of  Rhode  Island  and  Providence  Plantations 
being  in  the  hands  of  the  Baptists  and  Friends  no  religious  perse- 
cution was  effected  therein,  and  these  Societies  should  have  the 
honor  accorded  them  of  being  the  founders,  and  for  a  long  time 
the  only  sustainers,  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  not  only  in 
these  Plantations  but  in  New  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  as 
well,  and  against  great  odds.  They  well  deserve  the  name  of 
the  "  Protestants  of  the  Puritans."* 

No  positive  evidence  has  been  found  showing  that  Anthony 
Slocombe  joined  the  Society  of  Friends,  but  there  is  good 
circumstantial  evidence  that  he  did  unite  with  them  about  the 
year  1662,  and  that  such  union  was  the  cause  of  his  removal  to 
Dartmouth  and  his  exclusion  there  from  the  rights  of  citizenship  ; 
see  sketch  No.  1.  It  is  believed  that  the  early  settlers  of  Dart- 
mouth either  thought  they  were  settling  within  the  bounds  of 
Rhode  Island, — the  land  of  liberty, — or  sought  that  region, 
isolated  from  the  settled  parts  of  New  Plymouth,  for  the  peace- 
able enjoyment  of  their  religious  convictions. 

After  the  widespread  destruction  of  life  and  property  by  the 

Indians  in  the  disastrous  contest  known  as  King  Philip's  War, 

the  General  Court  of  New  Plymouth  promulgated  the  following 

document  under  date  of  the  4th  of  October,  1675,  Vlz-  '■ — 

"  This  Court,  taking  into  theire  serious  Consideration  the  tremendus 
dispensations  of  God  towards  the  people  of  Dartmouth,  in  suffering  the 
barborous  heathen  to  spoile  and  destroy  most  of  their  habitations,!  the 
enimie  being  greatly  advantaged  thervnto  by  theire  scattered  way  of 
liueing,  doe  therefore  order,  that  in  the  rebuilding  or  resettleing  thereof, 

*In  their  petition  to  Charles  II  for  a  Charter  in  i662-'63,  the  people  of  Rhode 
Island  declared  "how  much  it  is  in  our  hearts  to  hold  forth  a  lively  experiment, 
that  a  most  flourishing  civil  state  may  stand,  and  best  be  maintained,  with  a  full 
liberty  of  religious  concernments."  The  Charter  was  granted  in  accordance  with 
their  wishes  ;  and  "nowhere  in  the  world"  says  Bancroft  in  his  History  of  the 
United  States,  "were  life,  liberty,  and  property,  safer  than  in  Rhode  Island." 

fThe  Indians  under  Philip  "burned  nearly  thirty  houses  in  Dartmouth,  killing 
many  people  after  a  most  barbarous  manner,  as  skinning  them  all  over  alive,  some 
only  their  heads,  cutting  off  their  hands  and  feet The  inhabitants

that  they  soe  order  it  as  to  Hue  compact  together,  att 
lage,  as  they  may  be  in  a  capassitie  both  to  defend  themselues  from  the 
assault  of  an  enemie,  and  the  better  to  attend  the  publicke  worship  of 
God,  and  Minnestry  of  the  word  of  God,  whose  carelesnes  to  obtaine 
and  attend  vnto,  wee  fear,  may  haue  bine  a  prouocation  of  God  thus  to 
chastise  theire  contempt  of  his  gospell,  which  wee  earnestly  desire  the 
people  of  that  place  may  seriously  consider  off,  lay  to  hart,  and  be 
humbled  for,  with  a  Sollisitus  indeauor  after  a  reformation  thereof  by  a 
vigorous  puting  forth  to  obtaine  an  able,  faithfull  dispenser  of  the  word 
of  God  amongst  them,  and  to  incurrage  him  therin,  the  neglect 
wherof  this  Court  as  they  must  not,  and,  God  willing,  they  will  not 
prmit  for  the  future. 

Alsoe  this  Court  doth  order,  that  the  people  of  Middlebury  doe  attend 
the  like  course  in  theire  rebuilding  and  resettleing,  as  is  ordered  for  Dart- 
mouth. And  that  none  shall  for  the  future  erect  any  house  or  cottage 
without  speciall  lycence  giuen  him,  in  any  place  soe  farr  remote  from 
the  publicke  worship  of  God  that  they  can  not  comfortable  attend  the 
same." 

Three  sons  and  one  daughter  of  Giles2  Slocombe  of  Ports- 
mouth, Rhode  Island,  removed  to  Dartmouth  Township,  New 
Plymouth,  to  begin  life  for  themselves, — Giles3  in  1669,  six  years 
before  Philip's  War,  and  Peleg,  Mary,  and  Eliezer,  soon  after  the 
war.  They  were  all  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends  ;  and 
the  Friends  and  Baptists  comprised  the  larger  portion  of  the 
residents  of  that  township.  Notwithstanding  their  superior 
numbers  the  persecutions  of  these  sects,  for  refusing  to  support 
the  Colonial  Church,  were  continued  with  vigor  in  Dartmouth 
and  Tiverton — the  only  townships  in  New  Plymouth  continuing 
inflexible  in  their  resistance  of  the  tax  levied  for  that  church 
while  they  faithfully  paid  all  other  rates.  One  indictment 
followed  another  for  many  years.  In  1724  Dartmouth  voted  not 
to  raise  the  imposed  tax  of  ^100  to  sustain  the  Colonial  Church, 
but  to  raise  ^700  to  sustain  the  Selectmen  in  not  making  the 
rate — they  to  be  allowed  a  certain  sum  for  each  day  passed  in 
prison  on  account  of  their  non-compliance  with  the  Court  Order. 
Two  men  of  Dartmouth  and    two  of  Tiverton — Baptists  and 

were  most  of  them  Quakers."  This  war  cost  the  Colony  six  hundred  men  and  one 
million  dollars.  See  "  Church's  Entertaining  Passages  relating  to  Philip's  War";

Friends — were  sent  to  Bristol  jail  where  they  remained  about 
eighteen  months,  or  until  the  act  of  the  General  Court  under  which 
they  were  imprisoned  was  annulled  by  the  King  of  England.* 

The  early  records  of  the  Society  of  Friends  in  New  England 
were  generally  quite  full,  and  they  are  now  mostly  in  a  good,  state 
of  preservation.  There  were  books  for  recording  the  marriages, 
births,  and  deaths,  occurring  among  the  members,  and  books,  kept 
by  another  clerk,  for  the  business  transactions  of  the  monthly 
meetings.  Thus  much  has  been  preserved  concerning  individ- 
uals, of  interest  to  their  descendants,  that  otherwise  would  have 
been  irrecoverably  lost.  The  following  transcripts  may  serve  as 
illustrations  of  their  method  of  recording  events  affecting,  or  liable 
to  affect,  their  interests  : — 

"At  a  monthly  man  and  woman's  meeting  in  the  house  of  Jabez 
Greene  [in  East  Greenwich  Township,  Rhode  Island,]  this  5th  of  12th 
month,  1699,  its  the  mind  of  this  meeting  that  Ebenezer  Slocum[  of 
Jamestown  Township,  R.  I.  ;  see  sketch  No.  6,]  and  Daniel  Cogshall  are 
chosen  to  appoint  where  a  meeting  house  shall  be  built  and  set  up  for  this 
purpose,  to  wait  upon  God  in,  and  to  worship  him  in  spirit  and  in  truth." 

This  meeting-house  was  built  on  the  land  of  John  Spencer, 
about  one-half  mile  southwest  of  the  present  Village  of  East 
Greenwich,  and  near  the  four  corners.! 

*  ' '  The  Quaker  never  would  pay  tithes  ;  never  yielded  to  any  human  law  which 
traversed  his  conscience.  He  did  more  ;  he  resisted  tyranny  with  all  the  moral 
energy  of  enthusiasm,  bearing  witness  against  blind  obedience  not  less  than  against 

will  worship The  heaviest  penalties  that  bigotry  could  devise 

never  induced  him  to  swerve  a  hair's  breadth  from  his  purpose  of  speaking  freely 
and  publicly.     This  was  his  method  of  resisting  tyranny." 

"The  Friends  were  among  the  worst  persecuted  of  religious  sects,  but  they  never 
showed  any  spirit  of  retaliation.  When  urged  to  denounce  their  enemies  they  invari- 
ably answered,  'We  leave  them  with  the  Lord.'  They  bore  all  imprisonment 
patiently  and  unflinchingly.  They  were  the  true  pioneers  of  freedom  ;  asked  no 
privilege  for  themselves  that  they  were  not  willing  to  concede  to  others  ;  they  advo- 
cated entire  freedom  of  opinion  and  expression  for  Protestant  and  Romanist, 
Christian  and  Infidel.  They  did  not  profess  to  have  discovered  new  truth  or  to  aim 
at  the  establishment  of  a  new  creed  ;  they  sought  to  effect  a  reform  in  manners 
rather  than  in  belief." 

"The  Friends  have  probably  never  at  any  one  time  exceeded  200,000  in  number. 
But  the  purity  of  their  lives  and  their  constant  outspoken  testimony  against  all 
immorality,  war,  intemperance,  and  especially  against  slavery,  have  exercised  an 
influence  over  the  opinions  and  practices  of  the  civilized  world  altogether  greater 
than  that  of  any  other  body  of  men  of  .  no  greater  numbers  that  has  existed  in 
modern  times.  The  number  in  the  United  States  is  now  estimated  to  be  about 
100,000,  and  in  all  other  countries  combined  about  50,000."  See  Bancroft's  History

Friends  and  their  children  stand  clear  in  their  testimonies  against  wars 
and  fightings  and  learning  to  war ;  and  also  against  paying  directly  or 
indirectly  for  not  training  or  bearing  arms,  but  to  suffer  patiently  or 
gladly  the  spoiling  of  our  goods,  or  what  the  authority  shall  see  fit  cause

SKETCH  No.  I. 

Anthony1  Slocombe  is  recorded  (as  "Anthony  Slocum  ")*  as 
one  of  the  forty-six  "first  and  ancient  purchasers,"  A.  D.  1637, 
of  the  territory  of  Cohannet  which  was  incorporated  3  March, 
1639,  with  the  name  of  Taunton  in  New  Plymouth,  now  Massa- 
chusetts, and  from  which  the  present  Townships  of  Taunton, 
Raynham,  and  Berkley  have  been  organized.  The  interests  of  the 
several  purchasers  were  in  the  ratio  of  six,  eight,  and  twelve, — the 
subject  of  this  sketch  purchasing  eight  shares.  His  name  also 
appears  in  various  records  as  follows  : — 

August,  1643. — In  a  list  for  Taunton  of  "The  Names  of  all  the 
Males  [fifty-four  in  number]  that  are  able  to  beare  Armes  from  xvj 
Yeares  old  to  60  Yeares  wthin  the  seurall  Towneshippes."  f 

October  29,  1650. — As  a  juryman  in  a  case  of  accidental  drowning. 

June  10,  165 1. — Again  as  juryman  in  a  like  case  at  Taunton. 

June  6,  1654. — As  one  of  the  two  "Survayers  of  the  Highwaies"  for 
Taunton. 

June  3,  1657. — In  the  list  of  "Freemen  a  mitted  this  Court,  and 
sworne." 

June  7,  1659. — In  the  list  of  twenty  persons  "Sworne  as  the  Grand 
Enquest." 

December  28,  1659. — In  the  list  of  "  The  names  of  those  inhabitants 
within  the  township  of  Taunton,  who  are  to  have  their  division  of  land 
now  agreed  upon,  December  28,  1659,  whose  proportion  is  to  be 
according  to  the  rate  here  following,  together  with  the  quantity  of  land, 
lots  and  heads,  at  two  acres  to  the  head,  two  acres  to  the  shilling,  and 
two  acres  to  the  lot."  Under  this  agreement  he  is  recorded  with  a 
rating  of  nineteen  shillings  and  four  pence ;  six  heads ;  and  fifty-three 
acres.  X 

June  3,  1662. — As  one  of  the  two  "  Surveyors  of  the  Highwaies  " 
for  Taunton.

34  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

This  is  the  last  date  at  which  his  name  appears  as  a  resident 
of  Taunton.  We  are  informed  by  Baylies*  and  Ricketsonf  that 
he  disposed  of  his  rights  in  Taunton  to  Richard  Williams  and 
removed,  probably  about  the  year  1662.  to  that  part  of  New 
Plymouth  which  was  incorporated  in  1664  with  the  name  of  Dart- 
mouth Township,  and  of  which  he  and  one  Ralph  Russell  were 
the  first  settlers.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  settled  near  Pasca- 
manset  River  which  has  since  been  more  generally  known  as 
Slocum's  River. f  His  subsequent  history  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained. His  name  does  not  appear  in  any  of  the  "  exact  lists  of 
all  freemen  in  Dartmouth  "  made  from  time  to  time  and  dating 
certainly  as  early  as  29  May,  1670.  This  exclusion  from  the 
rights  of  citizenship  was  probably  a  result  of  his  union  with  the 
Society  of  Friends ;  see  page  28. 

There  has  been  preserved  a  fragment  of  a  letter  written  by  him 
in  Dartmouth  to  his  "  brother-in-law,  William  Harvey,  in  Taun- 
ton," as  follows,  date  not  preserved  : — 

"  To  the  Church  of  Christ  in  Taunton,  and  Mr.  Shove  [the  pastor] 
and  yourself  in  particular,  I  desire  to  be  remembered,  whose  prayers  I 
doubt  not  I  and  mine  are  the  better  for,  and  whose  welfare  I  earnestly 
wish  and  pray  for.  Myself,  wife,  and  sons,  and  daughter  Gilbert  who 
hath  four  sons,  remember  our  respects  and  loves,  and  my  sons  are  all 
married,  &c."* 

It  is  inferred  from  this  letter  that  he  married  a  sister  of 
William  Harvey  who  was  also  one  of  the  first  purchasers  of 
Taunton  in  equal  interest  with  him.  William  Harvey  remained 
in  Taunton  where  he  became  a  prominent  citizen  and  for  several 
successive  years  was  chosen  Deputy  to  the  General  Court — being 
evidence  conclusive  that  he  was  not  a  member  of  the  Society  of 
Friends.  The  Court  Records  for  New  Plymouth  contain  the 
information  that  "  At  a  Court  of  Assistants,  William  Harvey 
and  Joane  Hucker  of  Cohannett  were  marryed  the  second  of 
Aprill,  1639."  No  record  of  Anthony  Slocombe's  marriage 
having  been  found,  it  is  presumed  that  he  was  married  before 
his  arrival  in  the  colonies.

Emery,  2  vols.  12  mo.  Boston,  1853  ;  vol.  i,  p.  171.  Mr.  George  Shove  who  is 
mentioned  in  the  above  letter,  was  ordained  the  third  pastor  at  Taunton  19  Nov. 
1665,  but  was  a  resident  of  that  place  previous  to  this  date  ;  he  died  21  April,  1687.

FIRST  GENERATION.  35 

Mr.  Savage,  in  his  Genealogical  Dictionary,*  presumes  that 
the  "sons"  referred  to  in  Anthony  Slocombe's  letter,  as  given 
above,  were  Eliezer  Slocum  (see  sketch  No.  u),  Giles  Slocum 
(No.  5),  and  Peleg  Slocum  (No.  8),  who  were  among  the 
proprietors  of  Dartmouth  in  the  year  1694.  This  presump- 
tion is  undoubtedly  erroneous  ;  they  were  sons  of  Giles2  Slocombe 
of  Portsmouth,  Rhode  Island  (sketch  No.  2),  as  the  records  of 
Rhode  Island  and  Dartmouth  clearly  show.  They  may  have 
been  grand-sons  to  Anthony,  however,  as  grand-sons  were  called 
"sons"  at  that  time,  and  nephews  were  called  "cousins." 

Anthony  Slocombe's  household  of  six  heads,  recorded  in 
Taunton  28  December,  1659,  may  have  been  composed  of  him- 
self and  wife,  their  daughter  and  her  husband  John  (?)  Gilbert, 
and  two  grand-sons  ;  or,  one,  two,  or  three  servants  may  have 
been  counted  to  make  up  the  number  six.  If  Anthony  had  own 
sons  living  in  Dartmouth  they  probably  died  young — perhaps 
were,  with  him,  killed  in  Philip's  War  in  1675.  No  further 
mention  has  been  found  of  them,  and  no  one  has  been  identified 
as  descendants  of  theirs. f 

Anthony  Slocombe,  by  his  wife Harvey,  had  the  fol- 
lowing children  (?)  :

4  vols.  8vo  ;  Boston,   1862. 

f  The  records  of  Dartmouth  Township  previous  to  the  year  1725  were  destroyed 
by  fire,  and  thus  much  relating  to  its  early  history  was  lost.  Benjamin  Crane,  sur- 
veyor, was  able,  however,  to  transfer  many  of  his  former  land-surveys  from  his 
memorandum-book.      See  Ricketson's  History  of  New  Bedford,  p.  179. 

\  While  the  question  of  the  degree  of  relationship  that  existed  between  Anthony, 
Giles,  and  Edward  Slocombe,  must  remain  somewhat  in  doubt  until  further  infor- 
mation is  obtained,  the  writer  has  thought  best  to  let  this  record  show  as  above  after 
considering  all  of  the  evidence  found  ;  see  the  third  note  on  page  26.

36  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

2 

Giles2  Slocombe  {Anthony1 ),  the  common  ancestor  of  all  the 
Slocums  whose  American  lineage  has  been  found  to  date  from 
the  seventeenth  century,  was  born  in  Somersetshire  (?),  England, 
and,  coming  to  America,  he  settled  in  what  is  now  the  Township 
of  Portsmouth,  in  Newport  County,  Rhode  Island,  probably  in 
the  year  1638.  His  name  does  not  appear  in  the  list  of  the 
nineteen  persons  who  were  the  first  to  settle  there  the  "  7th  of 
First  month,  commonly  called  March,  163I,"  but  additions  were 
made  to  that  number  previous  to  the  13th  of  Third  month  when 
the  first  town-meeting  was  held.  The  township  was  given  the 
name  of  Pocasset  at  this  meeting,  and  "  it  was  voted  that  none 
should  be  received  as  inhabitants,  or  freemen,  to  build  or  plant 
upon  the  island  [then  called  Acquidneck]  but  such  as  should  be 

mett  together  to  enquire  and  consider  of  the  death  of  the  said  John,  doe  find  as 
followeth : — 

"Imprimis,  that  on  the  251  of  Febreuary  last  the  said  John,  goeing  with  a  com- 
panie  of  psons,  to  the  number  of  twenty,  Vnto  a  pond  called  the  Fowling  Pond, 
about  two  miles  from  the  towne,  to  gather  cramberies,  in  his  returning,  made  som 
stay  behind  ye  said  companie,  about  a  mile  from  his  house,  vpon  confidence  of  his 
knowlidge  of  the  way  home,  being  nine  yeares  of  age,  but  mis;ng  of  the  path, 
strayed  in  the  woods,  and  returned  not  againe. 

"  Item,  that  immediately  vpon  the  mise  of  him,  his  father  went  to  the  place  wher 
hee  made  his  stay  to  seeke  for  him  ;  and  when  hee  could  not  find  him,  nor  heare 
his  voyce  neare  and  of  a  good  distance  about,  he  returned  home,  hoping  that  hee 
had  taken  som  other  path  home  ;  but  then  finding  him  not,  hee  went  againe  about 
the  woods,  and  yet  not  coming  to  any  knowlidge  of  him,  hee  raised  the  towne,  and 
with  a  considerable  companie  the  whole  night  following,  with  drum,  guns,  and  loud 
voyces,  and  3  daies  after  with  great  dilligence  sought  him,  but  could  not  find  him. 

"  Item,  the  5*  of  January,  that  John  Lincolne  in  his  following  the  heard  of  cattell, 
found  the  skull  of  the  said  John,  haueing  the  braine  not  wholly  consumed  ;  and 
January  the  9th  hee  found  som  other  parts  of  the  corpse,  with  pte  of  his  clothes 
scattered  in  smale  peeces  about  the  place  by  a  certaine  pond  at  the  head  of  the  Mill 
Riuer,  3  miles  from  the  towne,  and  two  miles  from  the  said  Fowling  Pond. 

"  Item,  wee  considering  that  the  said  John  being  thinly  clothed  because  the  day 
of  his  lose  was  temperate,  and  the  next  day  stormy,  and  very  cold,  and  soe  likewise 
the  fourth,  and  vpon  view  beholding  a  certaine  place  containing  the  length  and 
breadth  of  his  body,  which  was  moist  and  black,  and  the  weeds  turned  backward 
euery  waies,  and  his  clothes  torne  into  small  peeces,  and  despersed  into  diuers 
places,  as  allsoe  certaine  bones  found  in  sundry  places,  and  in  one  place  som  part 
as  wee  coneue  [conceive]  of  his  bowells  not  quite  consumed,  wee  doe  apprehend 
that  the  said  John  when  he  strayed  away,  wandered  with  much  labour,  and  being 
spent  with  wearines  and  cold,  perished  among  the  brushy  shrubs,  and  was  devoured 
and  torne,  and  the  pts  of  his  carkeis  despersed  with  rauenus  creatures.

received  in  by  consent  of  the  body  and  submit  to  the  govern- 
ment that  was,  or  should  be,  established."  *  The  first  year 
was  one  of  great  enterprise  and  advancement  in  the  new  settle- 
ment. A  number  withdrew  from  the  compact,  however, — 
perhaps  on  account  of  the  shallowness  of  the  water  at  the 
landing, — and  were  the  first  to  form  a  settlement  at  Newport, 
about  six  miles  south,  the  28th  day  of  Second  month,  1639. 
Twenty-nine  persons  remained  in  Pocasset,  reorganized  the  gov- 
ernment, and,  July  1st,  1639,  changed  the  name  of  the  township 
to  "  Portsmouth  "  which  it  has  since  retained,  f

William,  and  Wrestling  Brewster,  it  being  the  same  land  that  was 
"  a  gift  from  our  [their]  Dear  Mother  Mistress  Sarah  Brewster."  The 
price  of  this  purchase  (^36)  was  "  paid  by  Ralph  Earle  in  behalf  of 
Gyles  Slocome."  f 

The  28th  of  February,  1670,  he  received  from  John  Wood  of  New- 
port, R.  I.,  for  a  consideration  of  £30,  a  deed  of  "  one  share  of  land 
lying  and  being  within  the  Liberties  and  precincts  of  Norwatacunck  in 
the  Jurisdiction  of  New  Jersey  Neer  New  York  near  Adjoining  to  the 
Land  of  John  Slocum  [his  son,  see  sketch  No.  4]  now  there  Inhabiting." 

The  3d  of  April,  1670,  he  received  from  Thomas  Lawton  of  Ports- 
mouth, R.  I.,  a  deed  of  two  shares  of  land  in  or  near  Shrewsbury 
Township,  New  Jersey. 

The  1st  of  April,  1672,  he  received  from  Thomas  Lawton  of  Ports- 
mouth, R.  I.,  a  deed  of  two  shares  of  land  in  or  near  Shrewsbury 
Township,  New  Jersey. 

He  gave  a  deed  of  land  in  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  to  his  son  Giles 3  [sketch 
No.  5],  "the  first  day  of  Aprill  in  the  three  and  twentieth  yeare  of  the 
Raigne  of  our  Souerraine  Charles  the  second  King  of  England  Scotland 
fraunce  and  Ireland 1672." 

The  2d  day  of  Eleventh  month,  1676,  he  gave  to  his  son,  John' 
Slocum  (No.  4)  of  Shrewsbury  Township,  New  Jersey,  a  deed  of  one- 
fourth  of  one  share  of  land  in  Shrewsbury,  and,  also,  the  tracts  at 
Navisink,  near  Shrewsbury,  which  he  purchased  in  1667  and  1670. 

*  This  record,  copied  by  the  writer  from  the  first  book  of  minutes  of  Portsmouth 
may  be  considered  good  evidence  that  Giles  Slocombe  became  a  resident  of  what  is 
now  Portsmouth  Township,  Rhode  Island,  in  the  year  1638.

SECOND   GENERATION,  39 

The  2d  of  Eleventh  month,  1676,  he  gave  to  his  "daughter  Joanna 
Mott "  (sketch  No.  3),  a  deed  of  three-fourths  of  one  share  of  land  in 
or  near  Shrewsbury,  N.  J. 

He  owned  rights  in  the  Township  of  Taunton,  New  Plymouth,  and 
sold  them  to  Nicholas  White,  senior,  previous  to  the  year  1675.* 

He  made  purchases  and  sales  of  land  in  addition  to  those  here 
mentioned,  but  enough  have  been  cited  to  show  that  he  was  a 
very  energetic  and  prosperous  man,  and  that  he  was  possessed 
of  the  characteristic  English  desire  for  a  large  landed  estate. 

Giles  Slocombe  and  his  wife  were  early  members  of  the  Society 
of  Friends  ;  see  page  27.  The  Friends'  records  for  Portsmouth, 
R.  I.,  show  that  "Joan  Slocom  the  wife  of  old  Giles  she  Dyed 
at  Portsmouth  the  31st  6  mo  1679."  No  record  has  been  found 
to  inform  us  of  her  maiden  name  or  of  the  time  and  place  of  their 
marriage.     He  died  in  the  year  1682  leaving  the  following  will : —

who  came  to  America  in  the  ship  "Defense"  in  1635.  Jacob 
Mott  became  distinguished  as  a  minister  in  the  Society  of 
Friends  ;  see  pages  3 1  ;  48.  It  is  also  written  f  that  the  Mott 
family  have  ever  been  highly  respectable.  The  sixth  Jacob 
occupied  the  homestead  in  Portsmouth  Township,  R.  I.,  in  the 
year  1853.  Johanna  Mott  is  named  in  her  father's  will  (page  40)

1645.     He  removed  to  East  New  Jersey,  where,  in  May,  1668, 
he  subscribed  to  the  following  oath  as  a  freeholder : — 

"The  Names  of  the  Inhabitants  of  Midleton  upon  Nauesink  that

He  received  from  his  father  deeds  of  lands  in  New  Jersey 
dating  from  the  year  1676,  or  earlier,  and  he  also  purchased 
largely  of  different  persons  until  he  became  possessed  of  exten-

f  Judge  William  H.  Slocum  of  Ocean  Port,  N.  J.,  communicated  to  the  Long 
Branch  Neivs  of  11  April,  1867,  an  amusing  legend  of  a  wrestling  contest  between 
John  Slocum  and  an  Indian  of  East  New  Jersey  who  was  chosen  by  his  tribe  for 
the  purpose — the  stake  being  a  gift  to  Slocum  by  the  Indians  of  as  much  land  as  he 
could  walk  around  in  a  day's  time  if  he  proved  victor,  otherwise  he  was  to  leave 
East  New  Jersey  to  the  undisputed  possession  of  the  Indians.  Mr.  Slocum,  who 
was  of  large  size  and  very  athletic,  finally  vanquished  his  antagonist — whose  body 
was  nude,  and  had  been  greased  for  the  contest — and  thereupon  he  was  permitted 
to  make  choice  of  and  occupy  that  part  of  Long  Branch  territory  extending  from  the 
seashore  to  Turtle  Mill  Brook  and  embracing  all  lands  situate  north  of  the  main 
road  from  the  sea  to  Eatontown  and  between  these  points  to  the  South  Shrewsbury 
River,  excepting  Fresh  Pond  and  Snag  Swamp.  It  is  stated  that  he  settled  on  the 
part  known  as  Parker's  Neck,  or  Farms,  where  the  Metropolitan,  Coopers,  and 
Atlantic  hotels  now  stand  ;  and  he  included  in  his  favorite  territory  Slocum's  Island 
in  Pleasure  Bay.  A  considerable  portion  of  the  above  described  lands  remained  in 
possession  of  the  Slocums  of  Long  Branch — descendants  of  his  brother  Nathaniel — 
as  late  as  the  year  1835,

freeman  of  that  township.  His  name  is  connected  with  a 
number  of  land  purchases  and  sales,  both  in  Portsmouth  and 
Dartmouth,  and  he  is  named  as  one  of  the  proprietors  of  Dart- 
mouth Township  in  the  confirmatory  deed  of  Governor  William 
Bradford  13  November,  1694.  The  following  entry  appears

From  the  year  168 1  he  was  chosen  on  committees,  and  singly, 
to  attend  to  business  appertaining  to  the  Society  of  Friends  ; 
and  it  also  appears  that  he  was  sometimes  called  upon  to  explain 
conduct  which  was  declared  disorderly  by  that  Society.  He  was 
chosen  the  28th  day  of  Sixth  month,  1682,  "  to  serve  on  the 
next  Grand  Inquest,"  and  again  in  1685  ;  was  chosen  Deputy* 
from  Portsmouth  to  the  Rhode  Island  General  Assembly  (Legis-

ant for  these  years  was  perhaps  his  son  Giles4  Slocum.  In  the 
year  1705  he  and  his  brother  Ebenezer  were  chosen  with  Gover- 
nor Cranston  and  others,  as  a  committee  on  the  part  of  Rhode 
Island  to  settle  the  long  continued  and  vexatious  question  of 
boundary  line  between  that  Colony  and  Connecticut.  He  was 
generally  chosen  Moderator  of  the  Portsmouth  Town- meetings, 
and  was,  evidently,  the  most  prominent  man  of  his  time  in  that 
township.

Rev.  Ebenezer3  Slocum  {Giles,2-  Anthony,* )  was  born  in 
Portsmouth  Township,  Rhode  Island,  the  25th  day  of  First 
month  (March),  1650.  He  married  Mary  Thurston  who  was 
born  in  the  year  1657,  a  daughter  of  Edward  Thurston  of  New- 
port and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Adam  Mott ;  see  page 
41.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  settled  on  Canonicut  Island, 
Jamestown  Township,  R.  I.,*  where  he  received  land  from  his 
father  as  shown  by  a  deed  dated  25  October,  1678.  He  was 
chosen  Deputy  (Representative)  for  Jamestown  to  the  Rhode 
Island  General  Assembly  (Legislature)  in  the  year  1679,  anc^ 
held  that  office — sometimes  acting  as  Speaker  of  that  body — 
much  of  the  time  until  his  death  in  171 5.  He  presided  at  the 
first  (?)  general  election  of  officers  in  Jamestown,  21  April,  1682, 
and  was  afterward  often  chosen  to  the  offices  of  "  Counsellman  " 
and  Head  Warden,  and  to  the  chair  as  Moderator  of  the  James- 
town Town-meetings.  He  was  also  one  of  the  early  proprietors 
of  East  Greenwich  Township,  R.  I.,  and  in  the  division  of  land

Friend,  Thomas  Story,  wrote  in  his  journal  that  "  We  went  over 
the  Sound  unto  Cannonicut  Island  and  lodged  that  night  with 
our  ancient  and  honorable  friend,  and  able  minister  of  the  gos- 
pel, Ebenezer  Slocum."  *  He  was  also  enterprising;!  was  a 
yeoman  and  owned  land  in  different  parts  of  Rhode  Island  and 
Providence  plantations.  He  gave  a  deed  of  land  for  a  Friends' 
meeting-house  in  Jamestown  the  27th  of  Seventh  month,  1710  ; 
he  also  gave,  15  August,  1710,  a  deed  of  one  acre  of  land,  with  a 
meeting-house  thereon,  for  the  same  purpose,  in  South  Kings- 
town, R.  I.,  on  the  present  road  between  Wakefield  and  River- 
dale.     The  Friends'  record  of  deaths  contains  the  following  entry  :

THIRD  GENERATION. 

"  Being  a  man  of  great  stature,  and  strong  and  nimble  of 
those  recreations  that  were  in  those  days  accounted  civil ; 
year  of  his  age,  it  pleased  God  to  send  his  faithful  servant  George  FoX,  1M6  those 
parts,  and  he  was  willing  to  go  to  hear  him  preach,  which  he  did.  But  being  in 
that  nature  which  understood  not  the  things  of  the  spirit  of  God  he  came  to  this 
conclusion  in  his  mind,  never  to  hear  any  of  the  Quakers  again,  boasting  in  himself 
that  the  Baptists  were  nearer  the  rule  of  the  Scripture  than  they. 

"  Thus  he  went  on  for  some  time,  until  God,  who  brings  down  the  high  from 
their  seats,  and  scatters  the  proud  in  the  imaginations  of  their  own  hearts,  was  thus 
pleased  to  manifest  himself  to  him.  He,  with  two  more  of  his  company,  were 
passing  by  a  barn,  where  there  was  a  meeting,  at  which  was  that  eminent  gospel 
minister,  John  Burnyeat,  of  Cumberland,  of  the  nation  of  England  ;  and  he  being 
preaching  as  they  were  passing  by,  they  all  went  to  the  outside,  to  hear  two  or 
three  words,  to  talk  of  as  they  went  on  their  way.  It  so  pleased  God,  that  at  that 
instant  John  Burnyeat  was  treating  of  that  saying  of  John  the  Baptist,  where, 
speaking  of  Christ,  he  said,  '  He  shall  baptize  you  with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  with 
fire  ;'  which  Ebenezer  did  not  remember  he  had  ever  read,  although  he  thought  he 
knew  more  Scripture  than  any  of  the  Quakers.  He  was  willing  to  lean  against  the 
door-post  to  hear  farther,  although  his  companions  jogged  him  to  be  gone.  Yet  he 
stayed,  until  through  the  powerful  preaching  of  the  gospel  he  was  reached  to  the 
heart,  and  made  in  his  own  soul  to  confess,  that  all  his  Scripture  knowledge  and 
high  notions  of  water  baptism,  had  left  him  short  of  the  new  birth,  and  the  baptism 
of  Christ  by  the  one  Spirit  into  the  church,  which  is  his  body.  Yet  he  did  not  give 
up  in  obedience  for  some  time,  until  the  fire  of  God  began  to  kindle  in  his  own 
soul  against  the  root  of  the  corrupt  tree,  and  every  branch  thereof ;  for  he  found 
that  saying  of  the  prophet  fulfilled,  that  '  There  is  no  peace  to  the  wicked.' 

"  About  this  time,  being  with  his  newly-married  wife  at  a  merry-making,  where 
they  were  pitching  the  bar,  they  persuaded  him  to  pitch  with  them,  but  he  refused, 
being  sensible  the  Lord  had  appeared  to  him,  to  redeem  him  out  of  such  vain 
delights.  But  they  at  last  set  his  wife  to  work  ;  and  she,  through  much  entreaty, 
prevailed  with  him  to  pitch  once.  And  although  he  outdid  all  the  company,  to 
their  rejoicing  who  set  him  to  work,  yet  the  Lord,  who  requires  obedience  according 
to  the  understanding  given,  set  his  folly  and  shunning  the  cross  so  powerfully 
before  him,  that  for  a  time  he  thought  the  day  of  his  visitation  was  over.  Yet  he, 
who  in  judgment  remembers  mercy,  after  some  time,  was  graciously  pleased  to 
show  him,  that  he  might  come  out  of  condemnation,  by  obeying  the  law  of  the 
spirit  of  life,  which  now,  through  Christ,  was  made  manifest  in  his  mortal  body,  to 
reprove  sin  in  the  flesh :  to  which  he  gave  up  in  faithfulness. 

''The  Lord  was  near  to  him,  both  to  comfort  him  in  his  exercises,  and  also  to 
give  him  sound  wisdom,  and  a  divine  understanding  in  the  mysteries  of  his 
kingdom.  After  a  few  years  He  called  him  into  the  work  of  the  ministry,  in  which 
he  approved  himself  a  labourer  who  needed  not  to  be  ashamed  ;  for  he  rightly 
divided  the  word  of  truth,  being  sound  in  doctrine,  and  his  speech  very  often 
ministered  grace  to  the  hearers,  and  was  sealed  by  the  spirit  of  God  to  many  of 
his  auditors,  to  the  turning  them  home  to  Christ,  the  great  minister  and  mediator  of 
the  new  covenant,  which  God  hath  made  with  his  people  in  this  latter  age  of  the 
world. 

"  He  was  also  made  an  overseer  of  the  church  in  these  parts,  by  the  great  Bishop 
o{  souls,   and  Shepherd  of  the   sheep  ;  in  which  he  acquitted  himself  like  a  true 


48  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

servant  of  Christ,   being  a  pattern  to  the  flock   in  his  conversation  and  Christian 
humility  ;  as  also  in  his  apparel  and  furniture. 

"  He  travelled  much  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  for  the  space  of  thirty-six  years, 
both  in  the  colonies  of  New  England,  and  also  several  times  to  Long  Island,  East 
and  West  Jersey,  and  Pennsylvania,  and  in  his  latter  years  to  Maryland,  about  500 
miles  from  his  habitation  ;  in  which  travels  several  were  convinced  of  the  everlasting 
truth  through  his  ministry  ;  also  the  convinced  were  built  up  in  the  most  holy  faith, 
which  gives  victory  over  all  the  works  of  the  flesh. 

"  He  was  also  very  serviceable  in  meetings  of  business  where  he  came,  that  the 
professors  of  truth  might,  in  all  their  conversation,  be  brought  to  walk  in  the  same, 
having  an  excellent  gift  in  the  service  of  the  church." 

"In  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1714,  he  travelled  to  Boston,  Lynn,  Salem, 
Hampton,  and  Dover,  taking  his  leave  of  Friends,  saying  he  never  expected  to  see 
them  again  ;  for  he  had  a  sense  that  his  time  in  this  world  was  near  to  a  period  ; 
and  was  also  in  this  journey  very  serviceable  in  preaching  the  gospel  of  Christ  with 
power,  and  with  an  audible  voice,  and  in  giving  good  counsel  to  Friends.  When 
he  was  at  home,  he  always  delighted  in  the  company  of  Friends,  who  stood  zealous 
for  a  right  godly  discipline  and  good  order  in  the  church  of  Christ,  which  the  Lord 
hath  measurably  established  amongst  Friends,  that  so  the  honest,  though  weak, 
might  be  preserved,  and  all  disorderly  walkers  who  would  not  be  reclaimed,  might 
be  testified  against,  as  professors  who  are  gone  from  our  holy  communion  ;  in  which 
good  work,  this  Friend  was  one  of  the  first  rank  in  these  American  parts  of  the  world. 

"  As  on  one  hand  he  always  accounted  the  disorderly  walkers,  under  profession 
of  truth,  his  enemies,  and  they  often  found  from  him  a  stroke  of  sound  judgment, 
so  on  the  other  hand,  he  was  a  tender  nursing  father  to  the  honest-hearted  and 
young  scholars  in  Christ's  school.  He  ruled  not  with  severity  over  any,  because 
they  were  younger  than  he  ;  but  always  delighted  to  see  young  men  come  up  in  a 
part  of  the  good  order  established  amongst  his  people.  And  if  at  any  time  they 
were  too  zealous  to  be  borne  by  the  old  and  loose  professors  of  truth,  he  would 
commend  their  zeal,  but  gently  instruct  them  to  use  wisdom  in  their  management  ; 
in  which  good  work  the  Lord  greatly  blessed  his  labour  to  his  people. 

"He  would  also  give  way  very  much  to  those  newly  called  into  the  work  of  the 
ministry,  if  they  kept  to  sound  words  and  doctrines,  which  are  according  to  godli- 
ness, ministering  from  the  ability  which  God  giveth. 

"  Thus  he,  with  much  sweetness,  continued  a  faithful  elder  until  the  sixty-third 
year  of  his  age,  and  then  he  was  taken  ill  with  the  yellow  jaundice,  aud  other  dis- 
tempers setting  in  together,  he  continued  very  weak  all  the  winter,  very  often 
expressing  his  willingness  to  submit  to  the  will  of  God,  either  in  life  or  death.  He 
was  often  concerned  in  the  time  of  his  sickness  for  his  children,  that  they  might 
walk  in  the  way  that  is  straight  and  narrow,  and  leads  to  eternal  bliss  ;  telling  them 
he  had  done  his  duty  in  teaching  and  instructing  them,  as  much  as  in  him  lay,  and 
letting  them  know  his  earnest  desire  that  they  should  keep  in  the  unity  of  Friends  ; 
and  that  it  would  prove  their  utter  ruin,  if  they  went  from  it. 

"  He  would  in  his  sickness  very  often  be  talking  of  his  desire  that  Friends  might 
be  kept  in  love  and  unity  ;  and  so  continued  at  times  in  a  divine  sense  of  God's 
goodness  and  sweet  peace.  At  one  time,  several  friends  being  present,  he  gave  to 
each  of  them  suitable  counsel  ;  and  soon  after  said  to  his  near  friend  and  kinsman, 
Jacob  Mott  [page  41],  then  present,  with  whom  he  had  very  often  travelled  to 
preach  the  gospel,    '  I  desire  thee  to  remember  my  dear  love  to  all  Friends  in  New 


TflTRD  GENERATION.  49 

England'  ;  and  further  said,  he  had  done  his  day's  work,  having  peace  with  God, 
and  unity  with  his  people.  And  then  like  a  composed  Christian,  who  had  fought 
the  good  fight  of  faith,  he  took  leave  of  his  family  one  by  one  ;  and  after  some 
time,  departed  very  quietly,  and  doubtless  is  entered  into  that  rest  which  is  pre- 
pared for  the  people  of  God. 

"  He  was  buried  from  the  meeting-house  in  Jamestown,  after  there  had  been 
several  testimonies  borne  to  that  truth  made  manifest  in  this  latter  age  of  the 
world,  by  the  spirit  of  God,  in  the  hearts  of  the  sons  of  men,  in  which  this  dear 
Friend  had  lived  and  died."

This  house  was  built  in  the  year  1699  and  was  the  first  house 
erected  for  religious  worship  in  the  old  Township  of  Dartmouth 
which  included  the  present  Townships  of  Dartmouth,  Westport, 
New  Bedford,  and  Fairhaven.  The  Friends'  Monthly-meeting, 
which  had  been  established  a  number  of  years  before  this  house 
was  erected,  had  been  held  at  private  houses.  This  meeting- 
house was  greatly  enlarged  after  a  few  years  to  accommodate  the 
great  increase  of  the  Society's  membership,  and  after  the  building 
of  additional  meeting-houses  in  Dartmouth*  this  large  building 
was  replaced — the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century — by  the 
present  structure  which  is  smaller  than  the  second  building  and 
larger  than  the  first.  It  is  called  Apponegansett  Meeting-house 
and  is  situated  about  six  miles  southwest  of  the  City  of  New 
Bedford  and  two  miles  northeast  of  the  small  Village  of  Russell's 
Mills.  The  burying-ground  has  also  been  enlarged  and  probably 
contains  the  bodily  remains  of  all  the  early  Friends  of  Dartmouth  ; 
but,  owing  to  the  custom  of  not  permitting  grave-stones  with 
inscriptions,  which  prevailed  for  several  generations,  it  is  impos- 
sible for  anyone  to  ascertain  just  where  his  ancestors  were  laid 
unless  some  private  means  of  designation  have  been  preserved. 

Peleg3  Slocum  is  recorded  in  the  Friends'  records  for  Dart- 
mouth as  a  minister  ;  and  Richardson  in  his  Journal  wrote  under 
date  of  1701  that"  Peleg  Slocum,  an  honest  public  Friend,  carried 
us  in  his  sloop  to  Nantucket."f  The  celebrated  Thomas  Story 
— one  of  the  original  Friends— was  entertained  at  his  house  in 
First  month,  1703-4,  and  once  or  twice  later  in  1704. 

His  will  is  a  long  document  bearing  the  date  of  "Dartmouth 
the  13th  day  of  the  month  called  January,  in  the  fifth  year  of  his 
Majesties    Reign,  George    the    Second,  King  of  Great  Britain 

A.  D.  1 731";  and  it  was  proved  7  February, 

173I,  at  Taunton,  Mass.,  where  it  can  yet  be  seen.     Among  his 

with  others  are  the  proprietors  of  said  Dartmouth  " to  the  com- 
plainants' "damage  of  hue  hundred  pound,  siluer  money,"  that  they,  the  said 
proprietors,  do  not  permit  the  division  of  lands.  "  The  jury  find  for  the  defendants 
the  cost  of  the  suite."  Complaint  was  again  made  27  October,  1685,  on  account  of 
the  11  )n-;>artition  of  lands,  and  the  court  granted  a  non-suit.  See  Records  of the 
Colony  of  New  Plymouth,  vol.  vii,  Judicial  Acts  ;  also  third  note  on  page  43,  ante. 

*  In  \'\t  year  1858  there  were  fourteen  places  for  Friends'  meetings  within  the 
boundary  of  the  old  Township  of  Dartmouth.  In  the  year  1849  the  Society's 
membership  aggregated  825  in  that  territory — being  a  decrease  during  the  fifty 
years  preceding.      See  Ricketson's  History  of  New  Bedford.

Eliezer3  Slocum  [Giles,1  Anthony,1)  was  born  in  Portsmouth 
Township,  now  in  Newport  County,  Rhode  Island,  the  25th  day 
of  Tenth  month,  1664,  and  became  a  resident  of  Dartmouth 
Township,  New  Plymouth,  in  the  year  1684,  or  before.*  He 
married  Elephel  Fitzgerald  f  and  resided  in  Dartmouth  as  a 
yeoman.  In  the  confirmatory  deed  of  Governor  William  Brad- 
ford, 13  November,  1694,  Eliezer  Slocum  and  his  brothers  Giles 
(page  43)  and  Peleg  (page  50)  were  named  among  the  proprietors 
of  Dartmouth  which  then  included  the  present  Townships 
of  Dartmouth,  New  Bedford,  Westport,  and  Fairhaven.  He 
dealt  quite  extensively  in  lands,  and  was  very  successful  in  the 
accumulation  of  property  considering  the  newness  of  the  country 
and  the  various  unfavorable  circumstances  of  his  time. 

The  oppressions  of  the  New  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts 
governments^:  show  a  marked  contrast  between  the  civil  standing 
of  these  brothers,  and  all  other  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends, 

*  See  third  note  on  page  43,  and  second  note  on  page  51. 

f  The  name  "  Elephel"  was  probably  either  taken  from  the  Bible,  1  Chr.  xi,  35, 
or  was  derived  from  Eahljled  (Anglo-Saxon  and  Teutonic),  signifying  hall,  all  or 
increase.  Tradition — agreeing  in  families  widely  separated  for  generations — says 
that  Elephel  Fitzgerald  was  a  lady  of  high  birth,  and  some  families  hold  that  she 
was  among  the  number  of  young  women  who  were  forcibly  brought  to  America  and 
sold  for  wives  to  respectable  purchasers — the  purchase  money  in  this  instance 
amounting  to  about  $600.  This  tradition  is  possibly  true.  The  "  children  stolen," 
"  maidens  pressed,"  and  political  prisoners  (see  second  note  on  page  26)  from  England 
were  in  great  demand  in  the  American  Colonies  and  many  women  were  brought 
who  were  "young,  handsome,  and  well-recommended  for  their  virtuous  education 
and  demeanour,  and  were  sold  as  wives  to  the  planters  fetching  from  one  hundred 
and  twenty  to  three  hundred  and  fifty  pounds  of  tobacco,  i.  e.  from  £1%  to  ^52 
sterling."  See  Stith's  History  of  Virginia,  page  197.  "  This  traffic  continued  for 
many  years.  The  battles  consequent  on  the  civil  wars  of  the  Kingdom  furnished 
large  numbers  for  the  trade.  Scots  taken  at  Dunbar  [A.  D.  1650]  and  two  hundred 
and  seventy  of  the  royalist  prisoners  taken  by  Cromwell  at  the  Battle  of  Worcester, 
[A.  D.  165 1]  were  landed  and  sold  in  New  England."  John  Cotton,  the  minister 
at  Boston,  wrote  to  Cromwell  that  they  were  "kindly  used,  having  been  sold  for  a 
limited  servitude  in  a  country  where  their  labour  was  welcome,  and  not  ill-rewarded." 
The  insurrectionists  of  Penruddock,  Roman  Catholics  from  Ireland,  and  nearly  one 
thousand  state  prisoners  eagaged  in  the  Duke  of  Monmouth's  Rebellion,  A.  D.  1685, 
were  shipped  to  the  colonial  freeholders.  See  Knight's  History  of  England.  Also 
A  History  of  Georgia,  by  Rev.  William  B.  Stevens,  M.  D.,  etc. 

Mrs.  Julia  (Ferris)  Pearce  (see  family  No.  25°)  of  Pawling,  N.  Y., — a  descendant 
of  Eliezer3  and  Elephel  (Fitzgerald)  Slocum, — communicated  to  the  writer  in  1881 
the  tradition  held  in  her  family  concerning  the  coming  of  Elephel  Fitzgerald  to 
America,  as  follows  :  A  daughter  of  Earl  Edmund  (?)  Fitzgerald  of  Dublin  became 
affianced  to  an  English  officer,  against  her  father's  will,  and  eloped  with  him  taking 
with  her  a  younger  sister,  this  Lady  Elephel,  whom  they  brought  to  America, 
perhaps  to  further  the  success  of  their  plans. 

\  New  Plymouth  Colony  was  united  with  the  Colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  in  the 
year  1691.

The  former  were  excluded  from  the  rights  of  citizenship  and  the 
privilege  of  holding  office,  though  they  were  obliged  to  bear  their 
proportion  of  the  governmental  burden  ;  while  the  presence  and 
counsel  of  the  latter  were  much  sought  in  directing  public  affairs.

a  considerable  estate.     Her  will  was  proved  4  October,  1748. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  Eliezer  Slocum's  will  made  by  the

month,  1680,  and  was  there  married  to  Anne  Borden  as  shown 
by  the  following  certificate  : — 

"Portsmouth,  Rhode  Island  January  15th  1701-2,  this  may  certify 
all  persons  whom  it  doth  concern  that  Giles  Slocum  the  son  of  Giles 
Slocum  and  Anne  his  wife  and  Anne  Borden  the  daughter  of  Matthew 
Borden  and  Sarah  his  wife  all  belonging  to  the  town  of  Portsmouth  above 
said  (viz)  that  he  the  said  Giles  Slocum  Junr  and  Anne  Borden  were 
joined  in  marriage  according  to  law  on  the  day  and  year  above  written 

Me  Joseph  Sheffield  Assistant. 
The  above  is  a  true  Copy 

Recorded  by  Wm.  Sanford  Town  Clerk." 

They  settled  in  Portsmouth  where  he  was  admitted  freeman 
in  the  year  1703,  and  chosen  Deputy  to  the  Rhode  Island  Gen- 
eral Assembly  in  1704  which  office  he  held  for  many  years.  He 
was  chosen  Assistant  in  1722  and  '23  (?)  ;  see  page  44.  The 
records  of  Portsmouth  Township  show,  under  date  of  1  April, 
1745,  that 

"  Giles  Slocum  gave  an  article  of  manumission  to  a  negro  slave  Jack 
and  a  negro  woman  Heleno  they  paying  him  therefor  one  hundred  and 
fifty  pounds  in  good  currant  bills  of  publick  credit  of  the  Colony." 

The  Friends'  record  of  his  death  reads  as  follows  : — 

"  Giles  Slocum  of  Portsmouth  aged  68  Years  9  months  and  12  Days, 
and  Departed  this  Life  at  his  own  House  the  4th  day  of  the  week  the 
20th  of  ye  7mo-  1749  and  was  Buried  the  6  day  of  ye  week  following 
by  Portsmouth  Meeting  House.  And  as  he  was  Zealous  for  true 
Church  Discipline  so  he  was  much  made  use  of  by  the  Church  and  was 
serviceable  among  his  neighbours  having  a  Gift  beyond  some  others ; 
his  Death  is  therefore  Lamented  by  the  Church  as  well  as  his  Neigh- 
bors and  his  own  Family." 

His  will  is  an  interesting  document  of  its  kind  and  is  now 
treasured  by  William  H.  Slocum,  Esq,  (sketch  No.  329)  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.     Children  :

ii.  Matthew,  b.  31st  of  10  mo.,  1703,)"      of  4th  mo.,  1712,"* 
iii.  Sarah,  b.  12th  of  11  mo.,  1704;  married Barker. 

*John  Barber,  in  his  Notes  of  Rhode  Island  History,  writes  that  an  Indian  was 
hung  near  Newport  in  the  year  1712  for  the  murder  of  two  boys,  sons  of  Giles 
Slocum.  He  was  hung  in  chains  (gibbeted)  at  "  Monotomyny  Hill  "  (a  hill  in  the 
north  part  of  the  present  City  of  Newport  named  from  the  Indian  Wonnamatonna- 
mee  ?),  and  was  left  on  the  gallows  until  1715,  or  until  his  bones  fell  apart  from 
decay  of  the  flesh  and  ligaments.  Tradition  says  the  children  were  killed  (drowned  ?) 
by  a  servant  belonging  to  the  family — probably  the  Indian  above  referred  to.  The 
full  entry  in  the  Friends'  records  concerning  the  death  of  the  children  is  given 
above  opposite  their  names.

Capt.  Holder*  Slocum  {Peleg*  Giles,1-  Anthony?  )  was  born 
in  Dartmouth  Township,  Massachusetts,  the  14th  day  of  Fourth 
month,  1697.  He  was  a  sea-faring  man  in  early  life  and  became 
a  master-mariner.  He  married  first  Hannah  Hull,  27  April, 
172 1,  daughter  of  Captain  John  and  Alice  (Tiddeman)  Hull  of 
Jamestown,  Rhode  Island.f 

Thomas  Chalkley,  a  distinguished  minister  in  the  Society  of 
Friends,  wrote  that  Holder  Slocum  was  prominent  among 
Friends  as  early  as  the  time  of  his  marriage  with  Captain  Hull's 
daughter.  Thomas  Chalkley  visited  Dartmouth,  Mass.,  in  the 
year  1737,  and  was  entertained  at  the  house  of  Captain  Slocum. 
His  Journal,  on  that  occasion,  contains  the  following  entry  : — 

"  Holder  Slocum  lent  us  his  shallop  to  go  over  to  Nantucket ;  but 
the  wind  not  favoring,  we  had  a  satisfactory  meeting  at  a  large  farm  of 
his  on  an  island  bearing  his  own  name,  and  after  the  meeting  set  sail 
for  Nantucket ;  had  several  large  meetings  there,  and  I  rejoiced  to  see 
the  growth  and  increase  of  Friends  on  the  island,  where  God  hath 
greatly  multiplied  his  people  and  made  them  honorable."  \ 

Slocum's  Island,  referred  to  above,  was  probably  one  of  the 
Elizabeth  group  in  Buzzard's  Bay.  Holder's  wife  Hannah  died 
at  her  father's  house  in  Jamestown,  Rhode  Island,  the  28th  of 

*  New  Plymouth  Colony  was  united  with  the  Colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  in 
the  year  1691. 

f  Hannah  (Hull)  Slocum's  lineage  is  given  in  sketch  No.  28.

In  some  instances  those  under  sixteen  years  of  age  here  enumerated,  were, 
perhaps,  the  children  of  relatives  and  not  of  the  name  Slocum.  In  other  cases 
some  children  were  from  home  and  were  not  included  in  the  enumeration. 

Negro  servants  after  their  emancipation  often  retained  the  surname  of  their  former 
master,  as  was  formerly  the  case  with  servants  in  other  countries.  The  Massa- 
chusetts Revolutionary  War  Rolls,  and  the  Rhode  Island  Colonial  Records,  show 
that  there  were  in  the  Revolutionary  War  several  negro  soldiers  with  the  name

from  that  township  to  the  adjoining  township  of  Middletown  30 
October,  1774  ;  but  he  may  have  resided  meantime  in  Newport 
or  in  the  Narragansett  country — west  of  the  Bay.  Children,  per-

welfare  of  their  country  at  heart,  and  willing  to  defend  it  with 
their  lives,  also  believing  that  the  enemy  [the  British]  were  about 
to  make  an  attack,"  raised  a  company  "  to  guard  the  town  of 
Updike's  Newtown,"  in  North  Kingstown,  R.  I.  They  petitioned 
the  General  Assembly  and  were  "  granted  a  corporation  as  a  dis- 
tinct military  company,  not  to  exceed  sixty-four  men,  for  special

to  the  writer  how  numerous  their  descendants  now  are.  Several  participated  in 
the  War  against  the  Southern  Rebellion  and  some  were  killed  in  battle,  as  is  shown 
by  the  United  States  Roll  of  Honor.  Several  families  now  (1880)  reside  in  Paw- 
tucket,  R.  I.,  and  probably  some  in  Providence.  The  writer  is  not  aware  that  any 
of  their  names  are  included  in  this  book  ;  and  the  statement  in  the  Preface  that  probably 
no  considerable  number  of  families  have  borne  the  name  of  Slocum  in  America  who 
are  not  represented  in  this  publication,  applies  wholly  to  those  of  European  blood.

June,  1 791  ;  she,  14  June,  1796.  The  following  is  extracted 
from  obituary  notices  printed  in  the  Newport  newspapers  soon 
after  his  death,  viz  : — 

"  His  loss  is  not  more  severely  felt  by  his  immediate  connections  than 
lamented  by  every  good  man  who  knew  his  worth.  Possessed  of  that 
philosophic  calmness  and  tranquility  of  mind  which  result  from 
cultivated  reason  gaining  an  ascendency  over  an  irritable  constitution, 
he  was  enabled  and  even  disposed  to  do  equal  justice  to  all  with  whom 
he  had  any  concern.  As  a  citizen  he  was  solicitous  to  promote  the 
interest  of  society;  as  a  friend  full  of  kindness;  as  a  husband  .and 
parent  equisitely  tender,  indulgent  and  provident."

was  born  i  December,  1732.  They  removed  to  Portsmouth 
Township,  Rhode  Island,  where  he  was  "  granted  a  license  to 
keep  a  publick  house,"  at  a  Town-meeting  held  1 1  September, 
1758.  They  removed,  about  the  year  1760  (?),  to  that  part  of 
the  wilderness  from  which  was  organized,  7  March,  1788,  the 
Township  of  Pawling  in  Duchess  County,'x'  New  York,  and  there 
died.  The  place  of  his  residence  has  since  been  known  as 
"  The  Slocum  Place."  It  is  believed  by  many  that  his  house 
was  the  headquarters  of  General  Washington  while  the  Conti- 
nental Army  was  in  its  vicinity  in  the  year  1778.  The  writer 
is  indebted  to  Nathaniel  Pearce,  Esq  ,  of  Pawling — who  has  given 
considerable  attention  to  the  history  of  the  early  settlers  of  his 
township, — for  the  statement  that  Abraham  Slocum  was  a  man 
of  superior  intellect  and  good  mental  culture.  He  was  some- 
thing of  a  wit, and,  withal, a  good  hateras  Doctor  Johnson  says, — 
a  man  who  never  forgot  an  insult  or  forgave  an  injury.  His  latter 
days  were  clouded  by  intemperance  and  his  example  left  its  evil 
impression  on  some  of  his  children.     Children  :

Rhode  Island,  1  May,  1733,  and  was  married  to  Ruth  Tripp,  who 
was  born  21  March,  1736,  daughter  of  Isaac  Tripp,  Esq.,  as 
shown  by  the  following  certificate  copied  by  the  writer  from  the 
Warwick  Township  records,  viz.: — 

"  These  lines  may  certifie  all  persons  that  Jonathan  Slocum  and  Ruth 
Tripp  both  of  the  town  of  Portsmouth*  in  the  County  of  Newport

After  marriage  they  resided  in  Warwick,  where  he  purchased 
land  of  Isaac  Tripp  4  August,  1764,  and  of  Daniel  Remington  9 
September,  1768.  In  a  deed  of  sale  to  Godfrey  Malbone,  made 
21  February,  1771,  he  was  styled  a  blacksmith.  The  tide  of

necticut  to  the  Wyoming  Valley,  Pennsylvania, — then  claimed  by 
Connecticut — had  increased,  and  some  residents  of  Rhode  Island 
joined  the  movement.  Joseph  Slocum,  the  father  of  this  sketch, 
and  Isaac  Tripp,  Esq.,  the  father-in-law,  removed  thither  about 
1768  or  '69,  and  Jonathan,  leaving  his  family  behind,  followed 
them  after  the  above  sale  as  is  shown  by  the  following  record  : — 

"  A  lot  surveyed  to  Colonel  Lodwick  Ojidirk  in  '  ye  township  called 
ye'Capoose  Meadow'  passed  into  the  hands  of  Jonathan  Slocum  in 
177 1,  on  account  of  Slocum's  'Doeing  ye  Duty  of  a  settler'  for 
Ojikirk."  * 

This  lot  was  within,  or  near,  the  limits  of  the  present  City  of 
Scranton,  Pa.  It  appears  that  Jonathan  Slocum  returned  to 
Rhode  Island,  as  his  name  is  again  found  on  the  records  there  as 
"  of  Warwick"  in  a  sale  of  land  to  John  Lilly,  and  in  a  mortgage 
taken  in  part  payment  therefor,  under  date  of  16  April,  1774. 
At  this  time  his  household  in  Warwick,  R.  I.,  numbered  fourteen 
heads  ;  see  note  on  page  75.  It  is  highly  probable  that  he 
returned  to  the  Wyoming  Valley  with  his  family  in  the  year 
I774.t  On  the  6th  of  November,  1775,  he  received  from  Jona- 
than Fitch  a  deed  of  Lot  No.  15  in  the  Second  Division  of  the 
Town-plat  of  the  present  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.  He  also  purchased, 
previous  to  1777,  Lot  No.  17  in  the  old  Township  of  Putnam, 
now  Tunkhannock,  Wyoming  Co.,  Pa.  He  settled,  with  his 
family,  in  a  house  within  an  hundred  yards  of  Wilkes-Barre  Fort 
and  there  his  daughter  Frances  was  seized  by  Indians  the  2d  of 
November,  1778,  and  carried  into  captivity  ;  see  sketch  No.  242. 
The  Hon.  Charles  Miner,  in  his  History  of  Wyoming,  after  nar- 
rating the  particulars  of  her  abduction  wrote  as  follows  : — 

"The  cup  of  vengeance  was  not  yet  full.  December  16th  [1778] 
Mr.  Slocum  and  Isaac  Tripp,  Esq.,  his  father-in-law,  an  aged  man,  with 
William  Slocum,  a  youth  of  nineteen  or  twenty,  were  feeding  cattle  from 
a  stack  in  the  meadow,  in  sight  of  the  fort,  when  they  were  fired  upon 
by  Indians.  Mr.  Slocum  was  shot  dead  ;  Mr.  Tripp  wounded,  speared, 
and  tomahawked;  both  were  scalped.  William,  wounded  by  a  spent 
ball  in  the  heel,  escaped  and  gave  the  alarm,  but  the  alert  and  wiley  foe 
had  retreated  to  his  hiding-place  in  the  mountain.     This  deed,  bold  as

\  In  Peck's  History  of  Wyoming,  and  in  various  histories  of  Luzerne  County, 
Pennsylvania,  it  is  recorded  that  Jonathan  Slocum  removed  to  the  Wyoming  Valley

it  was  cruel,  was  perpetrated  within  the  town  plat,  in  the  centre  of  which 
the  fortress  was  located.  Thus,  in  little  more  than  a  month,  Mrs. 
Slocum  had  lost  a  beloved  child  carried  into  captivity  j  the  doorway  had 
been  drenched  in  blood  by  the  murder  of  an  inmate  of  the  family  j  two 
others  of  the  household  had  been  taken  away  prisoners;  and  now  her 
husband  and  father  were  both  stricken  down  to  the  grave,  murdered  and 
mangled  by  the  merciless  Indians.  Verily,  the  annals  of  Indian  atroci- 
ties written  in  blood,  record  few  instances  of  desolation  and  woe  to 
equal  this." 

Jonathan  Slocum  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and 
was  kindly  disposed  toward  the  Indians.  "  Being  from  principle 
a  non-combatant,  he  considered  himself  and  family  comparatively 
free  from  danger  from  the  attacks  of  the  savages."*  His  widow

Gideon6  Slocum  (Humphrey?  Eliezer?  Eliezer?  Giles?  An- 
thony?) was  born  in  Dartmouth  Township,  Massachusetts  (?), 
24  January,  1760.  He  removed  to  Pawling  Township,  Duchess 
County,  New  York,  about  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War, 
and  married  Hannah  Cook  of  that  place.  They  settled  on  a 
farm  in  Pawling  and  there  died — he,  14  July,  1843.  He  was  a 
leading  man  in  his  township  for  many  years,  being  very  enter- 
prising and  successful  in  his  undertakings.  Farm  after  farm  was 
added  to  his  possessions  until  he  owned  fifteen  hundred  acres  or 
more  of  land  in  a  body.  During  the  last  thirty  years  of  his  life 
he  was  somewhat  of  an  invalid  from  gout  (?),  and  his  principal 
mode  of  locomotion  was  by  a  wheel-chair  moved  by  an  attendant. 
In  this  way  he  kept  his  farm  under  close  observation,  and  planned 
and  superintended  his  extensive  and  successful  business  transac- 
tions. Besides  the  ordinary  routine  of  farming  he  dealt  largely 
in  live-stock — fattening  over  one  hundred  head  of  cattle  each 
year,  also  many  hogs  and  sheep.  He  also  conducted  a  general 
store,  and  a  tavern  which  proved  rather  unfortunate  for  his  sons. 
There  is  now  but  one  of  his  children  living — Mrs.  Emma  Arnold 
— and  the  sur-name  is  extinct  in  this  line.  All  lived,  died,  and 
are  buried  in  Pawling  Township,  N.  Y.  Children,  perhaps  not

ing man  in  the  business  and  politics  of  his  township  for 
many  years,  and  was  chosen  Supervisor  several  terms.  He

blyman) in  the  year  1828,  from  Duchess  County.

"John  Slocum,  Esq.,  was  a  genuine  patriot No  man  was 

more  uniform,  prompt,  and  conscientious  than  he  was  in  the  discharge 

of  all  the  duties  that  devolve  upon  a  freeman He  received 

the  appointment  of  Surveyor  and  Inspector  of  this  Port  and  District 
from  President  Jefferson,  which  position  he  held,  with  credit  to  himself 
and  usefulness  to  the  country,  until  the  time  of  his  death.  His  remains 
were  entombed  with  his  ancestors  in  the  Friends'  burying  ground  with 
every  mark  of  respect." 

"There  are  few  whose  decease  would  have  excited  a  greater  and 
more  general  sensation  of  bereavement  than  has  been  felt  in  the  death 
of  our  good  townsman,  Mr.  John  Slocum.  Regret  for  the  loss  of  this 
amiable  man  will  not  be  confined  to  the  little  community  of  which  he 
was  a  most  valuable  and  beloved  member He  was  all  sun-

shine  ;  he  never  made  us  sad  but  by  his  death,  and  we  think  it  no  un- 
im proving  thing  to  look  upon  this  man  as  he  was — for  a  fresher  and  purer 
illustration  of  the  beauty  of  benevolence  does  not  exist."

George7  Slocum  [Elihti,6  Giles?  Peleg*  Peleg?  Giles,1  An- 
thony,1) was  born  in  Dartmouth  Township,  Bristol  County, 
Massachusetts,  6  December,  1797.  He  removed  to  Genoa, 
Cayuga  County,  New  York,  in  the  year  18 17,  and  there  married, 
7  January,  1819,  Abigail  Sanford,  daughter  of  George  and 
Thankful  ^Bennett)  Sanford  formerly  of  Rensselaerville,  Albany 
County,  N.  Y.,  where  she  was  born  6  January,  1801.  They 
removed  to  a  farm  in  Scipio  Tp.,  Cayuga  County,  N.Y.,  in  1822, 
and  in  1859  settled  at  Sherwood  where  they  died — he,  26  Aug., 
1867  ;  she,  6  January,  1878  ;  they  were  buried  in  Scipio.  He 
was  a  man  of  generous  impulse  and  strict  integrity.  His  good 
will  was  extended  not  only  to  his  immediate  neighbors  struggling 
with  life's  weary  toil,  but  to  all  persons  needing  assistance.  He 
was  an  early  and  strong  advocate  of  the  emancipation  of  the 
negro  slaves,  urging  it  from  principle,  and,  early  in  the  Southern 
Rebellion,  as  a  measure  necessary  to  the  success  of  the  Union 
arms.    Children:

Mary  Ann7  Slocum  (  Williams?  Peleg?  Peleg,*>  Peleg?  Giles,1 
Anthony,1)  was  born  in  Dartmouth  Tp.,  Bristol  Co  ,  Mass.,  21  May, 
1805,  and  was  married  there,  9  June,  1825,  to  Henry  Howland 
Crapo  who  was  born  in  Dartmouth  24  May,  1804.  Mr.  Crapo  was  a 
man  whose  career  can  be  profitably  studied  and  remembered. 
Beginning  life  as  a  farmer's  son,  and  poor,  he  overcame  many 
obstacles,  acquired  a  good  education,  and  wealth,  and  rose  to  the 
highest  office  in  the  gift  of  his  adopted  State.  He  was  a  son  of 
Jesse  Crapo  (born  22  May,  1781,  died  11  Jan.,  1831,)  and 
Phebe  (Howland)  Crapo  (born  29  March,  1785,  died  22  Dec, 
1870),  and  grand-son  of  Peter  Crapo  who  was  in  the  fourth 
generation  from  Rufus  Crapo,  a  French  immigrant. 


SEVENTH  GENERATION.  193 

After  marriage  the  subjects  of  this  sketch  dwelt  in  Dartmouth, 
— he  as  a  farmer  and  school-teacher, — until  the  year  1832, 
when  they  removed  to  New  Bedford  where  he  held  various 
public  offices  for  a  period  of  twenty-five  years — including  a 
colonelcy  in  the  Massachusetts  Militia.  He  also  made  some  in- 
vestments in  whale-fishing  and  received  liberal  returns  therefrom. 

He  purchased  a  large  tract  of  woodland  in  Michigan,  and 
removed  his  family  thither  in  the  year  1856 — settling  at  Flint. 
He  engaged  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  lumber  at  Flint, 
Fentonville,  Holly,  and  Detroit,  and,  by  his  enterprise  and  wise 
management,  his  business  became  very  extensive  and  yielded 
him  large  returns.  He  was  a  prime  mover  in  the  construction 
of  the  Flint  and  Holly  Railroad,  and  was  President  of  that 
corporation  until  its  consolidation  with  the  Flint  and  Pere 
Marquette  Railroad  Company. 

He  served  as  Mayor  of  Flint,  and  in  1862  was  elected  State 
Senator  from  Genesee  County  and  took  rank  among  the  leading 
mep  in  the  Michigan  Senate.  He  was  elected  Governor  of 
Michigan  on  the  Republican  ticket  in  the  year  1864,  and  held 
that  office  four  years.  He  died  in  Flint  23  July,  1869.  The 
New  Bedford  (Mass.)  Evening  Standard  in  an  obituary  and 
review  of  his  former  intimate  relations  with  that  city,  said : — 

"  No  man  connected  with  our  municipal  concerns  ever  had  to  a 
greater  extent  than  Mr.  Henry  H.  Crapo  the  confidence  of  the  people. 
He  was  exact  and  methodical  in  all  matters  of  record ;  conscientious 
and  laboriously  persistent  in  the  discharge  of  every  duty ;  clear  in  his 
methods  and  statements  in  all  that  appertained  to  his  official  transactions. 
He  left,  at  the  end  of  his  long  period  of  service,  all  that  belonged  to  his 
department  as  financial  or  recording  officer,  so  lucid  and  complete  thatno 
error  has  ever  been  detected,  or  any  improvement  made  upon  his  plans." 

The  Detroit  Tribune  closed  its  obituary  notice  of  him  with  the 
following  tribute  to  his  worth  :— 

" — In  all  the  public  positions  he  held,  Governor  Crapo  showed  him- 
self a  capable,  discreet,  vigilant  and  industrious  officer.  .  .  .  Michigan 
never  before  had  a  Governor  who  devoted  as  much  personal  attention 
and  painstaking  labor  to  her  public  duties  as  he  did.  His  industry  was 
literally  amazing."  .... 

For  a  number  of  years  Mr.  Crapo  was  a  contributor  to  the  New- 
England  Horticultural  journal,  and  to  the  Albany  Country  Gen- 
tleman.    He  was  also  greatly  interested  in  the  public  schools  of  his 


194  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

community  and  contributed  to  the  advancement  of  their  interests.* 
Mrs.  Crapo  died  in  Flint,  Michigan,  21  February,  1875,  and 
was  buried  there  beside  her  husband  in  Glenwood  Cemetery. 
The  following  is  extracted  from  an  obituary  published  in  the 
Flint  Globe: — 

"  Mrs.  Crapo's  was  a  character  of  rare  precious  qualities.  Of  New 
England  birth  and  education,  she  had  all  the  earnestness,  and  exalted 
veneration  for  truth  and  honor,  and  the  high  sense  of  duty  which  belong 
to  the  best  type  of  New-England  people.  During  a  long  life,  full  of 
duties  and  not  free  from  afflictions,  she  walked  always  helpfully  beside 
her  husband,  the  two  combining  in  a  singular  degree  the  executive  force 
which  conquers  obstacles,  and  the  grace  which  wins  love  and  esteem. 
Since  the  death  of  her  husband  she  has  devoted  herself  to  the  duties  of 
her  home,  meeting  all  the  demands  of  society,  and  looking  with  a  watch- 
ful eye  over  the  interests  of  her  children.  Her  death  will  be  severely 
felt  in  the  community." 

The  Detroit  Free  Press  closed  an  obituary  as  follows  : — 

"Among  those  who  will  mourn  Mrs.  Crapo's  departure  most  are  the 
poor  of  the  city  whom  she  never  forgot,  her  heart  beating  in  sympathy 
with  them.  Generous  and  kind,  she  can  but  be  missed,  and  a  void  is 
left  that  cannot  be  easily  filled.  She  was  an  earnest  Christian  and  a 
devoted  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church."

Hon.  William  Wallace  Crapo  was  born  in  Dartmouth  Township, 
Massachusetts,  16  May,  1830,  and  was  educated  in  the  public  schools 
of  New  Bedford,  at  Phillips  Academy,  Andover,  and  at  Yale  College 
where  he  was  graduated  in  the  class  of  1852.  He  studied  law  at  the 
Dane  Law  School,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  and  in  the  office  of  Hon.  John 
H.  Clifford  of  New  Bedford.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  February, 
1855,  and  the  following  April  was  chosen  Solicitor  of  the  City  of  New 
Bedford,  an  office  which  he  continued  to  hold  for  twelve  years.  In 
1855  he  began  an  active  political  career  by  making  speeches  in  south- 
eastern Massachusetts  in  the  interest  of  John  C.  Fremont  and  William 
L.  Dayton,  the  first  Republican  candidates  for  President  and  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  States ;  and  that  autumn  he  was  elected  a 
Representative  from  New  Bedford  to  the  Massachusetts  Legislature. 
He  was  married  in  New  Bedford  22  January,  1857,  by  Rev.  John 
Weiss,  Unitarian,  to  Sarah  A.,  daughter  of  George  C.  and  Serena 
(Davis)  Tappan.  He  was  elected  Representative  to  the  Forty-fourth 
United  States  Congress,  from  the  First  Massachusetts  District,  to  fill 
the  vacancy  caused   by  the   death   of    Hon.    James  Buffington;  was

elected  to  the  Forty-fifth  Congress,  and  served  as  member  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Foreign  Affairs ;  was  elected  to  the  Forty-sixth  Congress, 
and  served  on  the  Committee  on  Banking  and  Currency;  and  in 
October,  1880,  he  was  elected  to  the  Forty-seventh  Congress  by  a  large 
majority.  He  has  also  held  various  positions  of  honor  and  trust  in 
New  Bedford  where  he  resides, — including  that  of  President  of  the 
Mechanics  National  Bank.  He  was  chosen  President  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Republican  Convention,  held  21  September,  1881,  and  he  has 
been  named  by  the  press  as  a  likely  candidate  for  Governor  of  the 
State.  Mr.  Crapo  is  a  man  of  sound  judgment,  which  accounts  for  his 
success.  He  holds  advanced  views  on  civil  service  reform,  and  his 
political  instincts  are  liberal  and  progressive.     Children  :

County,  New  York,  A.  D.,  1800.  He  married  in  Cambridge, 
N.  Y.,  4  May,  1825,  Margaret  Pierson  Jermain,  daughter  of 
Sylvanus  P.  and  Margaret  (Pierson)  Jermain,  formerly  of  Sag 
Harbor,  Long  Island,  N.  Y.,  where  she  was  born  4  March,  1804. 
Her  father  was  a  Major  in  the  War  of  18 12.  Mr.  Slocum 
settled  in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  where  he  became  a  merchant,  and, 
by  his  public  spirit  and  active  business  habits,  contributed  much 
to  the  interest  and  business  of  that  city.  He  was  elected  to  the 
New  York  Legislature  (Assemblyman)  from  Onondaga  County 
in  the  year  1849.  Subsequently  he  made  two  journeys  to 
Russia,  and  was  employed  by  that  Government  to  establish 
agricultural  schools  in  the  Empire,  and  to  import  American 
improvements  in  agricultural  implements.  One  of  the  first 
plows  that  he  took  to  that  country  was  placed  in  the  Russian 
National  Museum  as  an  object  of  great  interest.  He  died  25 
March,  1863,  in  Syracuse  and  was  buried  there  in  Oakwood 
Cemetery.  The  newspapers  of  his  city  in  reviewing  his  life 
referred  to  him  as  "a  man  of  large  intellect,  fine  education  and 

gentlemanly  attainments possessed  of  the  most  liberal 

views  on  all  matters As  a  legislator  he  served  with 

fidelity  to  his  constituents  and  honor  to  himself."  His  old 
friends  in  Syracuse  still  bear  him  in  kindly  remembrance. 
Children  : 

i.  Margaret  Olivia,  born  8  September,  1828 ;  married 
Russell  Sage.  They  reside  in  New  York  City.  Mr.  Sage 
was  born  in  Oneida  County,  N.  Y.,  4  August,  1816.  After 
attending  common-school  a  few  years  he  commenced  active 
life  as  a  clerk  in  Troy  about  the  year  1826,  and  continued 
in  mercantile  business  until  1853.  He  served  as  Alderman 
in  TrOy  seven  years,  from  1841,  and  also  as  Treasurer  of 
Rensselaer  County  for  seven  years.  He  was  elected  Repre- 
sentative to  the  33d  U.  S.  Congress  two  terms, — from  1853 
till  1857, — and  was  first  to  advocate  the  purchase  of  Mount 
Vernon,  Va.,  by  the  U.  S.  Government.  For  a  number  of 
years  he  has  been  one  of  the  most  prominent  and  success- 
ful stock  operators  in  Wall-street,  New  York,  and  a  few 
years  ago  it  was  said  of  him  that  he  had  built  and  managed 
more  railroads  than  any  other  man  in  America.  He  has 
also  been  successfully  engaged  in  banking.  See  the  book

Gilks7  Slocum  (Jonathan,6  Joseph?  Giles?  Samuel?  Giles? 
Anthony?)  was  born  in  Warwick  Township,  Kent  County,  Rhode 
Island,  5  January,  1759.  He  removed  with  his  parents  to  the 
vicinity  of  Wilkes-Barre,  Pennsylvania,  about  the  year  1774,  and 
there  participated  in  the  defense  against  the  Indians  during  the 
time  of  the  terrible  massacres  that  devastated  the  Wyoming  Val- 
ley, and  he  was  one  of  the  few  who  escaped  from  the  most  cruel 
and  extensive  slaughter  of  3  July,  1778,  by  swimming  to  Monock- 
onock  Island  in  the  Susquehanna  River,  rolling  in  the  sand  and 
hiding  under  a  fallen  tree,  covered  by  bushes.  He  married  Sarah 
Ross  of  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.,  soon  after  this  escape,  and  removed  to 
Duchess  County  (?)  New  York.  In  the  year  1 786  (?)  they  removed 
to  Saratoga  Township,  Saratoga  County,  N.  Y.,*  and  thence, 
about  the  year  1806,  to  Claverack,  Columbia  County,  where  they 
resided  about  nine  years  and  then  returned  to  Saratoga  and  set- 
tled three  miles  west  of  Schuylerville  where  they  died — she,  22

tection and  assistance,  until  we  should  reach  the  Cornplanters  settlement  on  the 
headwaters  of  the  Allegheney,  to  the  redeeming  of  his  sister  from  an  unpleasing 
captivity  of  twelve  years,  to  which  end  he  begged  our  immediate  interposition."

Ebenezer?  Slocum  {J onathan?  yosepfa  Giles*  Samuel? 
Giles?  Anthony?}  was  born  in  Warwick  Township,  Rhode  Island, 
10  January,  1766,  and  was  reared  at  Wilkes- Barre,  Pennsylvania, 
from  the  age  of  about  eight  years.  He  there  married,  3  Dec., 
1790,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Dr.  Joseph  and  Obedience  (Sperry) 
Davis  of  that  place,  where  she  was  born  31  August,  1771. 

In  the  year  1798  he  purchased  an  interest  in  the  grist-mill  at 
"  Deep  Hollow,"  which  soon  thereafter  became  known  as  Slocum 
Hollow  and  which  has  since  been  included  within  the  limits  of 
the  more  recent  City  of  Scranton,  Pa.  He  there  built  a  distillery 
in  1798-99  and  a  saw-mill  in  1799.  ^n  tne  ^as^  named  year  his 
brother  Benjamin  succeeded  his  former  partner,  James  Duwain, 
and  together  the  brothers  constructed  an  iron-forge  early  in  the 
year  1800,  and  a  second  distillery  in  1811.  For  several  years 
thereafter  whiskey,  lumber,  iron,  flour,  and  feed  were  manu- 
factured in  such  quantities  as  to  bring  the  isolated  settlement 
before  the  county  as  one  of  prominence  and  importance-  The 
iron  ore  was  exhausted  in  1822,  and  the  partnership  of  the 
brothers  was  dissolved  in  1826 — Benjamin  retiring  from  the 
business.  Ebenezer  Slocum  built,  in  1805,  the  first  frame  house  at 
Slocum  Hollow.  This  was  for  many  years  a  prominent  land- 
mark as  the  oldest  house  in  Scranton,  and  was  known  as  "  the 
Slocum  old  red  house."  In  size  the  main  part  was  17x44 
feet,  with  an  addition  in  the  rear  17x34  feet — all  two 
stories  in  height.  The  upper  portion  was  burned  10  April, 
1869,  and  was  repaired  the  same  month.  The  first  lodge 
of  Odd  Fellows  in  Scranton  was  organized,  and  for  a  time  held 
meetings,  in  the  room  over  the  kitchen.  The  house  was  taken 
down  in  1875  to  give  room  for  extensive  steel  works  which  are 
now  in  constant  operation.  Mr.  Slocum  was  Justice  of  the  Peace 
in  1821  of  the  district  which  included  the  present  Pittston, 
Providence,  and  Exeter  Townships.  With  his  great  business 
enterprise  and  thrift  he  accumulated,  in  addition  toother  property, 
1,800  acres  of  land  all  situate  within  the  limits  of  the  present 
City  of  Scranton,  Pa.,  and  nearly  all  of  it  was  underlaid  with  coal. 

Ruthless  time  and  the  march  of  improvements  have  nearly 
obliterated  all  traces  of  the  works  of  these  Slocums  at  Scranton  ;

Frances7  Slocum  {Jonathan?  Joseph?  Giles*  Samuel,1  Giles? 
Anthony?}  was  born  in  Warwick  Township,  Kent  County,  Rhode 
Island,  in  March,  1773.  The  next  year  (?)  her  parents  removed 
with  their  family  to  the  Wyoming  Valley,  Pennsylvania,  and 
finally  settled  near  Wilkes-Barre  Fort  and  the  Public  Square  of 
the  present  City  of  Wilkes-Barre. 

On  the  2d  day  of  November,  1778,  a  party  of  Delaware  Indi- 
ans invaded  the  house,  during  the  absence  of  the  father  and  old- 
est sons,  killed  Nathan  Kingsley,  aged  fifteen  years,  who  had  been 
kindly  sheltered  by  Jonathan  Slocum,  seized  little  Frances  with 
Kingsley's  younger  brother  and  a  colored  girl  belonging  to  the 
family  and  carried  them  captives  into  the  forest  where  young 
Kingsley  soon  died  and  where  Frances  remained  lost  to  her  rel- 
atives about  fifty-nine  years  notwithstanding  great  efforts  for  her 
discovery  by  her   brothers  who  personally  traversed  the  (then) 


220  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

forest  between  the  Susquehanna  River  and  the  great  lakes,  and 
parts  of  Canada,  with  that  object,  beside  offering  a  reward  of  five 
hundred  dollars  for  information  concerning  her  whereabouts. 

In  January,  1835,  Col.  George  W.  Ewing,  of  Logansport,  Indi- 
ana, who  was  a  trader  with  the  Indians  and  understood  something 
of  their  language,  stopped  one  night  at  the  house  of  the  widow  of 
the  Chief  of  the  Miami  Indians,  at  their  reservation  about  nine 
miles  south-east  of  Peru,  Miami  County,  Indiana,  and  became 
particularly  interested  in  the  features  and  whiteness  of  skin  of 
the  mistress  of  the  house,  who,  beside  being  the  widow  of  the 
Chief,  was  in  dress,  manner,  and  speech,  apparently  a  full  mem- 
ber of  the  tribe.  After  some  time  he  learned  from  her  that  she 
was  born  of  white  parents,  and  that  she  was  forcibly  taken  from 
their  home  by  the  Susquehanna  River,  when  she  was  quite  young, 
by  the  Delaware  Indians  ;  that  her  father's  name  was  Slocum  ; 
that  he  was  rather  small  in  stature  and  wore  a  broad-brimmed 
hat  (was  a  Friend) ;  that  he  had  sandy  hair,  and  a  light  com- 
plexion much  freckled  ;  that  he  lived  in  a  wooden  house  two- 
stories  high,  and  about  half  a  mile  from  a  town  where  there  was 
a  fort,  etc.  Col.  Ewing  was  greatly  interested  in  her  story  and 
wrote  a  letter,  under  date  of  January  20,  1835,  to  the  postmaster 
at  Lancaster,  Pa.,  detailing  her  account  and  adding  :  "  Her  hus- 
band is  dead  ;  she  is  old  and  feeble,  and  thinks  she  cannot  live 
long.  These  considerations  induced  her  to  give  the  present 
history  of  herself — which  she  never  would  do  before,  fearing  her 
kindred  would  come  and  take  her  away.  She  has  lived  long  and 
happily  as  an  Indian — is  very  respectable  and  wealthy,  sober  and 
honest  ;  her  name  is  without  reproach."  This  letter  remained  at 
Lancaster,  known  only  to  a  few  individuals,  until  August,  1837, 
when  it  was  published  in  the  Intelligencer  of  that  place  and  soon 
thereafter  found  its  way  to  Wilkes-Barre  where  it  produced  a 
profound  sensation.  "  Is  it  Frances  ?  Can  she  be  alive  ?  How 
wonderful  !"  Her  brother  Joseph  immediately  prepared  for  a 
journey  to  the  distant  Reservation,  and  took  his  sister,  Mrs.  Mary 
Towne,  in  his  carriage  from  her  home  in  Southern  Ohio,  while 
their  brother  Isaac — who  had  been  informed  of  the  discovery  by 
mail—  preceded  them  by  public  conveyance  from  his  home  in 
northern  Ohio. 


SEVENTH  GENERATION.  221 

Upon  arriving  at  the  Reservation  they  found  the  object  of  their 
long  search,  who,  through  an  interpreter, — as  she  had  entirely 
forgotten  her  mother  tongue, — gave  a  brief  account  of  her 
abduction,  but  seemed  wholly  unmoved  at  the  presence  of  her 
kindred,  as  such,  and  was  not  free  from  suspicion  that  there  was 
some  plan  in  operation  to  take  her  away  or  to  get  her  land." 
Her  recognition  as  the  long-lost  sister  was  settled  beyond  doubt 
by  abundant  evidence,  including  a  scarred  finger  that  had  been 
severely  injured  by  a  hammer  in  the  hands  of  a  brother  in 
her  infancy.  "  It  was  evident  from  her  wealth,  the  extreme 
attachment  to  the  Indians  and  their  mode  of  life,  connected  with 
the  strength  of  mind  and  memory  displayed,  that  Frances 
Slocum  must  have  been  a  queen  among  them.  Doubtless  her 
superior  understanding  gave  great  influence,  and  led  to  a  flatter- 
ing deference  to  her  opinions  every  where.  All  possible  pains 
had  therefore  been  taken  to  render  life  pleasant  to  her,  and 
doubtless  to  imbue  her  mind  with  fear  and  dislike  of  the  whites, 
so  that  she  would  not  make  known  her  name  ;  and  she  had 
earnestly  desired,  when  prisoners  were  enquired  for,  that  she 
might  not  be  betrayed,  deeming  a  return  not  a  blessing  to  be 
desired,  but  a  calamity  to  be  deplored Time  and  edu- 
cation had  made  her  of  another  race  and  the  truest  wisdom 
dictated  acquiescence  in  her  lot." 

Joseph  Slocum  left  his  home  in  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.,  10  Septem- 
ber, 1839,  f°r  a  second  visit  to  his  sister  Frances,  and  was 
accompanied  by  his  daughters  Hannah  and  Harriet.  Hannah, 
then  the  wife  of  Ziba  Bennett,  Esq.,  kept  a  regular  journal  of 
the  journey  and  visit,  and  the  others  each  a  memorandum,  from 
which  the  Rev.  George  Peck  copied  quite  freely  into  his  History 
of  Wyoming.  Only  the  principal  incidents  of  the  visit  will  be 
here  sketched.  They  were  received  with  more  cordiality  than 
were  the  visitors  two  years  before.  Frances  not  only  expressed 
great  joy  at  again  meeting  her  brother,  but  became  more  com- 
municative and  gave  many  additional  items  in  her  history  and 
recollections.  The  whole  family,  in  fact,  seemed  anxious  to  tell 
their  relatives  (by  means  of  an  interpreter)  all  they  could  about 
themselves,  and  to  make  as  favorable  impression  as  possible^ 
They  had,  the  preceding  spring,  made  eleven  barrels  of  maple- 
sugar.     Frances  said  she  could  have  a  better  house,  but  feared

to  build  one  on  account  of  the  jealousy  of  the  Indians.  She  had 
money, — some  that  had  been  saved  since  the  treaty  at  St.  Mary's, 
eighteen  years  before.  They  had  cloths  and  calicoes  enough  to 
fill  a  country  store.  They  had  a  looking-glass,  several  splint- 
bottomed  chairs,  and  a  great  many  trinkets  hung  about  the 
house,  including  beads  and  chains  of  silver  and  polished  steel. 
Some  of  their  dresses  were  richly  ornamented  with  silver 
brooches, —  seven  or  eight  rows  of  them  as  close  as  they  could 
be  put  together.  Frances  had  seven  pairs  of  silver  rings  in  her 
ears,  and  her  daughters  perhaps  a  dozen  each.  They  had 
saddles  and  bridles  of  the  most  costly  kind,— six  men's  saddles 
and  one  side- saddle.  They  had  between  fifty  and  sixty  horses, 
one  hundred  hogs,  and  seventeen  head  of  cattle  ;  also  geese 
and  chickens.  Their  house  and  some  outhouses  were  inclosed 
with  a  common  worm-fence,  and  all  were  principally  built  of 
logs.  Frances  was  of  small  stature,  and  a  little  bent.  Her  hair 
was  clubbed  behind  in  calico  and  tied  with  worsted  ferret.  She 
was  attired  in  a  blue  calico  short-gown,  with  a  white  Mackinaw 
blanket  and  a  fold  of  broadcloth  around  her ;  also  with  red  cloth 
leggings  and  buckskin  moccasins.  She  said  the  Delaware 
Indians — with  whom  she  lived  a  number  of  years — slowly 
moved  westward  after  her  abduction,  stopping  some  time  at 
Niagara  Falls,  and  thence  passing  along  the  southern  shore  of 
Lake  Erie  to  the  Detroit  River.  About  the  year  1796  her 
foster-parents  settled  near  Fort  Wayne,  Indiana,  where  she 
lived  for  a  period  of  about  twenty  years.  She  married  a  Dela 
ware  Indian  known  as  Little  Turtle,  who  soon  left  her  and  went 
west  of  the  Mississippi.  She  married  second,  in  1792  (?)  the 
Chief  of  the  Miamis,  called  by  them  She-poe-ken-ah,  and  by  the 
white  people  "  The  Deaf  Man."  Her  Indian  name  was  Ma-con- 
a-quah,  or  Young  Bear.  They  settled  on  the  Miami  Reserva- 
tion, nine  miles  southeast  of  the  present  Village  of  Peru,  Miami 
County,  Indiana,  about  the  year  181 5,  and  there  her  husband 
died  in  1833.  She  had  no  children  by  her  first  marriage,  but 
had  four  by  the  second, — two  sons  who  died  young,  and  two 
daughters  who  were  living  with  her  at  the  time  of  the  visits  of 
her  relatives.  The  elder  daughter  was  named  Kich-ke-ne-che 
quah,  or  Cut  finger  ;  .perhaps  in  allusion  to  her  mother's  wounded 
finger.     She  was  the  wife  of  Captain  Jean  Baptiste  Brouillette,

a  tall  well-appearing  man  of  French-Indian  parentage.  The 
younger  daughter,  Osaw-se-quah  (Yellow-ieaf),  was  a  widow 
and  had  children,  Kip-pe-no-quah  (Corn  Tassel),  Wap-pa-no-se-ah 
(Blue  Corn),  and  Kim-on-sah- qnah  (Young  Panther). 

"  When  arrangements  were  being  made  by  the  Government  to 
settle  the  Indians  of  Indiana  west  of  the  Mississippi  River, 
Joseph  Slocum  did  not  forget  his  sister.  He  petitioned  Congress 
in  her  behalf  and  succeeded  in  enlisting  powerful  support.  Hon. 
B.  F.  Bidlack  took  charge  of  the  bill,  John  Quincy  Adams  made 
one  of  his  strongest  speeches  in  its  support,  and  it  became  a  law. 
The  bill  provided  that  one-mile-square  of  the  Miami  Indian 
Reservation,  embracing  the  house  and  improvements  of  Frances 
Slocum,  should  be  granted  in  fee  to  her  and  her  heirs  for- 
ever. After  the  departure  of  the  Indians  westward  she  sent 
for  her  brother  Joseph  to  come  and  take  charge  of  her  affairs, 
but,  it  being  impossible  for  him  to  go,  a  son  of  her  brother  Isaac 
[George  R.  Slocum,  see  family   No.  243]  responded  to  the  call." 

A  life-size  portrait  of  Frances  "  The  Indian  Captive,"  was 
painted  for  her  brother  Joseph  in  1839  Dv  George  Winter  (?)  of 
La  Fayette,  Ind.,  and  it  was  copied  and  engraved  for  Lossing's 
Field-Book  of  the  Revolution,  and  also  for  Peck's  History  of 
Wyoming.  She  died  9  March,  1847.  Her  elder  daughter  died, 
without  children,  on  the  13th  day  of  the  same  month,  aged  forty- 
seven  years.  The  younger  daughter  died  in  January,  1877, 
aged  sixty-two  years.  They  were  buried  with  Christian  rites 
near  the  confluence  of  the  Mississinewa  (Missisnewa  ?)  and 
Wabash  Rivers.  Some  descendants  of  Frances'  younger 
daughter,  who  was  known  in  later  years  as  Jane  Bondy,  live 
at  Reserve,  Ind.,  by  the  names  of  Godfrey  and  Tawetaw. 

The  history  of  this  capture  and  perversion  from  civilization, 
which  is  of  interest  to  the  ethnologist  as  well  as  to  the  general 
reader,  has  been  published  a  number  of  times,  but  most  of  the 
books  containing  it  are  now  out  of  print.*

Patrick,  daughter  of  Abel  and  Elizabeth  (Hurlburt)  Patrick  of 
Kingston,  Luzerne  Co.,  Pa.,  and  formerly  of  Norwalk,  Connecti- 
cut, where  she  was  born  26  April,  1780.  Afier  marriage  they 
dwelt  on  a  farm  which  included  the  site  of  the  present  Village  of 
Tunkhannock,  Wyoming  (then  Luzerne)  County,  Pa.,  until  the 
year  1823  when  they  removed  to  Ohio.  They  settled  in  York 
Township,  Sandusky  County,  30  March,  1824,  near  the  Village  of 
Bellevue  in  Huron  County.  She  there  died,  16  Sept.,  1839,  from 
injuries  received  by  being  thrown  from  the  wagon  against  a  stump 
by  their  frightened  horses.  He  married  2d,  in  Clyde,  Ohio,  24 
December,  1839,  Mrs.  Lydia  Norton,  widow  by  a  second  marriage, 

and   grandmother  by  her  first  marriage  with  Russell,  to 

Major  General  James  B.  McPherson.  Her  maiden  name  was  Lydia 
Chase,  and  she  was  born  in  Richmond,  Mass.,  28  March,  1777, 
and  died  in  Clyde,  O.,  4  October,  1876.  Isaac  Slocum  died  at 
his  home  near  Bellevue,  Ohio,  26  August,  1858,  and  was  buried 
beside  his  first  wife  in  Strong's  Ridge  Cemetery.  The  Witness,  a 
Baptist  newspaper  published  at  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  in  a  sketch  of 
his  life,  said  : — 

"  Mr.  Slocum  was  a  prominent  and  active  citizen,  and  held  success- 
ively several  military  commissions,  ....  and  was  several  years  Post- 
master. He  was  a  man  of  great  energy  and  enterprise,  and  notwith- 
standing the  time  and  money  expended  in  searching,  in  connection  with 
his  brothers,  for  his  lost  sister,  [see  ante  page  219]  he  accumulated  a 
handsome  fortune.  He  outlived  all  his  father's  family  and  died  peace- 
fully and  calmly  in  hope  of  the  resurrection  of  the  just."     

Major  Slocum  built,  in  the  year  1814,  one  of  the  most  popular

N.  Y.  They  removed  to  a  farm  in  Otisco  Township,  Onondaga

Township  which  was  organized  3  March,  1789,  as  Easton  Town- 
ship, Washington  County,  New  York,  and  was  married  there  to 
Anna  Hunt  in  the  year  1805.  They  removed  in  1808  to  Pinck- 
ney  Tp.,  Lewis  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  thence  to  Ohio  in  18 17  and  set- 
tled on  a  farm  near  the  present  Village  of  Ashland.  At  the 
time  of  this  removal  he  exercised  great  shrewdness,  good  tact  and 
daring,  in  discovering,  while  on  board  a  schooner  on  Lake  Erie, 
and  arresting  the  murderer  of  Richard  Huddleston  of  Schoharie 
County,  N.  Y.  For  this  service  to  the  State  he  received  a  reward 
of  $500.  In  his  new  home  he  soon  gained  the  reputation  of  pos- 
sessing good  judgment  and  business  tact,  and  his  counsel  con- 
cerning desirable  locations  and  neighborhood  matters  was  gener- 
ally sought  by  prospective  settlers  and  others.  He  early  gave 
attention  to  the  practice  of  law  and  in  the  year  1830  removed  to 
the  Village  of  Ashland  where  he  acquired  a  good  reputation  in 
that  profession.  He  did  not  neglect  his  farms  meantime,  and 
received  a  good  income  from  them  also.  When  the  Whig  party 
was  merged  into  the  Republican  party  he  became  one  of  its  strong 
supporters,  and  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion  he  spent  his 
time  and  money  freely  in  support  of  the  Government.  In  June, 
1 86 1,  his  son  Willard  raised  a  company  of  soldiers  many  of  whom 
were  indebted  to  him — some  for  considerable  sums — for  which 
indebtedness  he  gave  them  receipts  in  full,  and  afterward  con- 
tributed to  the  support  of  soldiers'  families.  He  was  generous  to 
the  worthy  poor  and  never  forcibly  took  property  from  them  in 
payment  of  debt.     His  wife  Anna  died  in  January,  1828,  and  he 

married  second,  widow Banning.     He  died   18  April,  1862, 

in  Ashland,  Ohio,  and  was  there  buried.*     Children  by  1st  wife  :

"  Narrow  escape.  Arrived  at  this  port  last  evening  ship  '  Harmony,' 
Brown,  of  Philadelphia,  104  days  from  Calcutta.  She  was  boarded  off 
Bermuda  by  the  privateer  'Jack's  Favorite,'  of  New  York,  and  informed 
of  the  war  [War  of  1812,  with  England]  and  that  the  Delaware  was 
blockaded.  Yesterday  morning,  off  Block  Island,  fell  in  with  a  British 
frigate  and  two  schooners,  which  chased  her  into  this  port,  and  dis- 
charged upwards  of  a  hundred  guns  at  her ;  several  shots  passed 
through  her  sails.  The  '  Harmony'  is  a  large  ship,  and  has  on  board 
a  very  valuable  cargo  of  silks,  etc.  Capt.  William  Slocum,  who  was 
crossing  the  bay  in  a  sail-boat,  with  a  woman  passenger,  seeing  the 
dilemma  of  the  Indiaman,  got  on  board,  and,  being  a  good  pilot, 
steered  the  ship  over  a  shoal  place,  and  in  this  way  the  frigate,  following 
close  in  her  wake,  was  grounded.  The  amount  awarded  to  Captain 
Slocum  for  his  valuable  services  was  $500 ;  the  woman  passenger  also 
received  a  present  of  valuable  pearl  beads." — Ricketson's  New  Bedford.

the  enemy.  So  it  was  with  him  at  the  far  more  terrible  Battle  of 
Shiloh  where  he  exhibited  the  same  lofty  traits  all  through  the  two 
days'  desperate  fighting  on  that  never-to-be-forgotten  field.  He  was  an 
excellent  example  of  what  a  true  soldier  ought  to  be,  and  his  loss  to 

his  company  is  therefore  great He  was  barefoot  the  last 

four  days  before  being  obliged  to  lie  down  on  account  of  his  sickness, 
and,  our  route  being  over  hard  stony  roads,  his  feet  were  very  sore  and 
much  swollen ;  yet  he  never  complained  or  faltered  on  the  march.  "... 

The  editor  of  the  Sentinel  added  that  "  Corporal  Slocum  was 
well  known  in  Fort  Wayne  as  a  young  man  of  moral  integrity 

and  great  worth." He  was  buried  in  the  National 

Cemetery  at  Chattanooga,  Tenn.  His  name  is  recorded  in  the 
United  States  Roll  of  Honor.

C.  Lawton,  daughter  of  James  and  Anne  Lawton  of  Newport. 
They  settled  in  Newport,  R.  I.,  where  he  has  conducted  the

classes,  and  his  policy  that  of  economy  in  the  administration  of 
the  government.  He  has  led  a  life  of  industry  and  frugality, 
and  accumulated  a  moderate  competence  ;  and  yet  in  the  summer 
season  when  business  is  brisk,  he  is  often  seen  at  his  post  in  the 
market  as  early  as  three  o'clock  in  the  morning,  with  coat  off 
and  sleeves  rolled  up,  as  busy  as  the  busiest  of  his  employees. 
He  has  no  children.

where  he  died  2  October,  1861,  and  where  she  still  lives,  noted

William  Reynolds8  Slocum  {Daniel?  Samuel,6  Samuel? 
Samuel?  Nathaniel?  Giles?  Anthony?)  was  born  in  New  York 
City  5  August,  1819  ;  was  married,  1  June,  1842,  to  Sarah  Jane 
McMahon,  daughter  of  John  and  Sarah  (Scott)  McMahon  of

for  nineteen  summers.  This  house — the  first  by  the  sea  at 
Long  Branch— was  wholly  destroyed  by  fire  in  the  spring  of 
1867.  During  his  connection  with  this  hotel  he  became 
acquainted  in  a  business  way  with  a  number  of  men  prominent 
in  the  State  and  Nation,  and  with  several  the  acquaintance 
ripened  into  intimacy. 

In  the  year  1856  he  was  appointed  a  Master  in  Chancery  for 
life  by  Chancellor  Williamson  of  New  Jersey. 

He  took  an  active  part  in  the  organization  of  the  Eatontown 
and  Seashore  Turnpike  Company  in  1865  ;  was  chosen  one  of 
the  Directors,  and  for  several  years  served  as  Treasurer  ;  and  in 
1876  he  was  elected  President  of  the  company,  which  position 
he  still  holds.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
of  the  Shrewsbury  Mutual  Fire  Insurance  Co.,  of  Eatontown,  N.  J. 

Throughout  his  life  he  has  taken  great  interest  in  the  welfare 
of  laboring  men.  He  was  the  prime  mover  for  the  introduction 
of  the  ten-hour  system  into  Monmouth  County,  N.  J.,  to  supplant 
the  old  plan  of  requiring,  during  the  summer  months,  work  from 
sunrise  till  sunset  as  a  day's  labor.  He  has  also  given  consider- 
able attention  to  schools  ;  and  he  aided  in  the  organization  of  the 
graded  system  now  in  successful  operation  in  his  neighborhood. 

In  the  year  1868  he  became  a  member  of  the  firm  of  William 
Haynes  &  Co., — which  was  soon  succeeded  by  Drummond, 
Maps  &  Co., — of  Ocean  Port,  N.  J.,  lumber-dealers  and  pro- 
prietors of  a  steam  sawing  and  planing  mill,  in  which  connection 
he  continued  until  1876.  Since  this  date  he  has  lived  retired 
from  all  business  except  conveyancing,  and  the  settling  of 
estates,  which  he  has  followed  in  connection  with  other  business 
since  1844.  Possessing  the  confidence  of  his  community,  he 
has  as  much  of  this  business  as  he  desires  to  occupy  his  mind. 

His  counsel  on  legal  questions  has  been  frequently  sought 
and  freely  given  ;  and  though  often  tendered  a  fee  for  the  same 
he  has  always  declined  receiving  it — nor  has  he  ever  accepted  a 
fee  or  commission  for  aiding  others  to  procure  a  loan  of  money. 
In  all  the  positions  of  trust  which  he  has  been  called  upon  to 
fill,  he  has  never  been  asked  to  give  bond  or  any  security  for  the 
faithful  performance  of  his  duty;  and  he  has  never  failed  to 
render  a  full  and  true  account.  In  business  he  has  always  been 
industrious,  persevering,  and  economical,  which  virtues,  with  his 


312  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

judicious  habits  and  management,  have  brought  him   the  full 
score  of  happiness  ;  for 

"Reason's  whole  pleasure,  all  the  joys  of  sense 
Lie  in  three  words — health,  peace,  and  competence." 

In  the  spring  of  1844  he  removed  from  Long  Branch  Village 
— where  he  had  resided  since  his  marriage — to  a  small  farm 
which  he  had  purchased  near  Branchburgh,  a  few  miles  distant. 
In  November,  1854,  he  completed,  and  removed  to,  his  present 
residence  which  is  pleasantly  situated  at  Wolf  Hill  on  the  turnpike 
between  the  villages  of  Eatontown  and  Long  Branch — one-mile- 
and-a-half  from  each — and  near  the  Village  of  Ocean- Port,  Mon- 
mouth County,  New  Jersey,  which  is  his  postoffice  address. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  Eaton- 
town,  and  serves  as  its  Treasurer  and  Warden.     Children  : 

i.  Walter  Linden,  born  12  June,  1836;  was  mar.  13  Nov., 
1867,  to  Alice  Hampton  by  Rev.  R.  A.  Poole,  P.  E.  He

buried  in  Branchburgh  Cemetery.  She  was  highly  esteemed 
for  her  Christian  virtues. 

iii.  Fanny  Ann,  born  13  June,  1844;  was  married,  2  Dec,

dren  to  adult  age  before  death  entered  the  household,  and  their 
uniform  good  health  gave  very  little  need  for  the  physician's  advice. 

Mr.  Slocum  was  a  large  muscular  man — six  feet  in  height 
with  a  weight  of  about  two  hundred  pounds — with  active 
habits,  but  of  few  words.  He  was  a  man  of  good  judgment  and 
possessed  a  good  degree  of  enterprise  and  business  tact,  but  was 
never  inclined  to  drive  a  sharp  bargain  to  the  injury  of  any  one. 
The  maxim  which  he  adopted  at  the  outset  of  his  career — that 
honest  persevering  industry  and  economy  form  a  sure  avenue  to 
success  when  complemented  by  good  judgment — was  closely 
adhered  to  throughout  his  life.  His  word  of  promise  was  always 
a  sure  bond  to  all  who  received  it.  Toward  the  poor  he  was 
liberal,  possibly  to  a  fault.  From  early  manhood  he  was  a  prom- 
inent member  of  the  Northville  Baptist  Church  and  he  remem- 
bered that  society  in  his  will  with  a  bequest.  He  was  for  many 
years  a  magistrate  in  his  township  (Northampton),  and  through- 
out his  busy  and  successful  life  his  integrity  of  character  was  a 
great  power  for  good  in  his  community,  and  its  influence  is  still 
a  rich  legacy  to  all  who  knew  his  worth.  Politically  he  was  a 
Democrat  of  the  Jeffersonian  school.  He  supported  Stephen  A. 
Douglas  for  the  Presidency  in  i860,  and  at  the  outbreak  of  the 
Southern  Rebellion  in  1861  he  was  firm  and  outspoken  in  his 
support  of  the  war  for  its  suppression  ;  but  he  did  not  live  to 
rejoice  at  the  final  triumph  of  the  Union  arms  and  the  consum- 
mation of  the  Emancipation  Proclamation.  Four  of  his  sons 
entered  the  Union  army,  and  most  of  his  sons  have  since  been 
stanch   Republicans.

Dr.  Willard8  Slocum  (Fitzgerald?  Eleazer?  yohn?  Eliezer? 
Eliezer?  Giles?  Anthony,1)  was  born  in  Saratoga  County,  New 
York(?),  A.  D.  1803.  He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of 
his  native  county,  and  taught  school  several  terms  in  central 
New  York  during  his  early  manhood.  In  the  year  1827  he  was 
recorded  at  Batavia,  N.  Y.,  as  a  school-teacher  and  also  as  a 
student  of  medicine  with  Dr. Ackley  with  whom  he  after- 
wards commenced  the  practice  of  medicine.  He  was  graduated 
M.  D.  3  February,  1829,  by  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons of  Fairfield,  N.  Y.  ;  was  married  in  Canton  Township, 
Wayne  County,  Michigan,  31  August,  1830,  to  Mary  Ann  Hol- 
brook  who  was  born  in  Riga,  Monroe  County,  N.  Y.,  7  August, 
1809,  daughter  of  Benaiah  and  Judith  (Badger)  Holbrook.  They 
removed  to  Ashland,  Ohio,  where  he  practiced  his  profession 
twelve  years — excepting  parts  of  two  winters  which  were  passed 
in  the  Cleveland  Medical  College — mostly  in  partnership  with  Dr. 

Denning.     About  the  year  1 842  he  exchanged  a  farm  (which 

he  had  owned  for  some  time)  near  the  Village  of  Ashland  for  a 
large  farm  in  Smithfield  Township,  Eaton  County,  Michigan, and, 
thinking  to  improve  his  failing  health,  he  removed  thither  taking 
with  him  a  considerable  amount  of  stock  from  the  Ohio  farm. 
He  there  experienced  the  life  of  a  pioneer  farmer  for  nine  months 
and  then  removed  to  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan,  where  he  prac- 
ticed his  profession  until  his  death  which  occurred  17  January, 
1847.  His  widow  was  married  in  1849  to  Jonathan  Chubb,  a 
farmer  near  Grand  Rapids,  who  died  a  few  years  thereafter  with- 
out children.  She  now  resides  with  her  son  in  Lamont,  Ottawa 
County,  Michigan.     Children  :

Rev.  John  Jay8  Slocum  {John?  Eleazer?  John,5  Eliezer? 
Eliezer?  Giles?-  Anthony?)  was  born  in  Pittstown  Township, 
Rensselaer  County,  New  York,  25  May,  1803.  He  studied 
theology  and  was  ordained  a  minister  in  the  Presbyterian 
church.  During  his  pastoral  labors  he  wrote,  and  published  in 
the  year  1836,  the  book  entitled  "  Disclosures  by  Maria  Monk," 
which  passed  through  several  editions  in  America  and  England 
and  was  very  extensively  read.*  In  the  preparation  and  publi- 
cation of  this  small  i6mo  book — which  was  for  a  time  very 
damaging  to  the  Roman  Catholic  church — Mr.  Slocum  was 
strongly  endorsed  and  encouraged  by  the  ablest  ministers  of  the 
Protestant  churches  in  New  York  and  Brooklyn.  The  "  Con- 
firmation  of    Maria    Monk's    Disclosures "    was   published    in 

1 85 1  (?).     He  married ,  a  lady  of  English  birth,  and  died 

12    May,    i860,    leaving   no  children.     The  following   obituary 
notice  of  him  appeared  in  a  Kalamazoo  (Michigan)  newspaper  : — 

"  The  Rev.  J.  J.  Slocum  of  this  place,  recently  of  New  York,  died 
at  the  residence  of  Hon.  D.  C.  Leach,  in  Lansing,  on  Thursday  last, 
of  some  acute  affection  of  the  brain,  the  precise  nature  of  which  we 
have  not  learned.  His  illness  was  of  brief  duration,  none  of  the  inci- 
dents of  which  have  yet  reached  us. 

"In  the  death  of  Mr.  Slocum  we  have  lost  one  of  our  most  esteemed 
and  valued  citizens — one  whose  place,  we  fear,  can  not  be  filled.  We 
have  lost  one  whose  life  was  an  incessant  toil  for  the  good  of  his  fellow- 
men,  and  for  the  moral  education  and  elevation  of  his  race.  Endowed 
with  a  powerful  and  well  trained  mental  organization — possessed  of 
an  indomitable  energy  and  an  iron  will,  he  was  well  calculated  to  con- 
ceive and  carry  out  those  noble  enterprises  which  characterized  his  life. 

"Our  acquaintance  with  Mr.  S.  commenced  some  five  years  ago, 
at  which  time  he  was  engaged  in  Chicago  in  organizing  and  developing 
the  '  Lind  Seminary  '  located  at  Lake  Forest,  the  most  beautiful  of  the 
suburbs  of  that  city,  and  which  is  now  one  of  the  most  successful 
institutions  in  the  West.     From  Chicago  he  came  to  Kalamazoo  and 

*  "  It  is  stated  by  Father  Newman  in  his  'Lectures  on  Catholicism,'  that  since  the 
first  appearence  of  '  Maria  Monk's  Disclosures '  in  1836,  from  200,000  to  250,000 
copies  have  been  put  in  circulation  in  Great  Britain  and  America." — London 
Literary  Gazette,  185 1,  page  723. 


384  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

planned  the  Female  Seminary  now  in  process  of  completion  here,  and 
for  the  interests  of  which  he  was  laboring  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

"Subsequent  to  the  organization  of  the  Seminary  here,  and  the 
commencement  of  its  construction,  from  causes  which  are  unnecessary 
to  explain,  his  connection  with  it  ceased  and  he  went  to  New  York, 
where  he  projected  and  developed  the  New  York  World  as  a  daily 
religious  newspaper.  Had  that  paper  been  continued  upon  the  basis 
on  which  it  was  originally  started — had  those  who  controlled  its  des- 
tinies been  faithful  to  the  great  truths  and  fundamental  principles  which 
they  recognized  in  its  origin,  and  which  they  promised  should  charac- 
terize its  career,  the  World,  instead  of  being  the  organ  of  a  political 
organization  as  it  is,  would  have  stood  to-day  without  a  peer  as  a 
journal  of  commanding  influence,  whose  pages  would  have  carried  life 
and  light  immortal  throughout  this  vast  Nation.  But  shortly  after  its 
commencement  Mr.  Slocum  was  prostrated  by  sunstroke  by  which 
he  was  confined  to  his  room  for  several  months,  and  which,  we  are  in- 
clined to  think,  was  the  predisposing  cause  of  his  last  sickness.  While 
thus  confined  the  affairs  of  the  World  fell  into  confusion  and  the 
change  was  made  which  struck  down  the  bright  hopes  of  its  future 
usefulness.  A  few  weeks  since  Mr.  S.  returned  to  Kalamazoo  at  the 
urgent  solicitation  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Michigan  Female  Seminary 
located  here,  and  resumed  his  former  position  in  connection  with  the 
Institution,  in  behalf  of  which  he  was  laboring  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

"  A  good  man  has  fallen  and  this  community  laments  his  loss  with 
feelings  of  most  profound  regret." 

Such  was  also  the  language  of  the  New  York  World,  and 
other  papers  where  he  was  well  known.

Brig. -Gen.  Willard8  Slocum  (E/ias,7  Eleazer?  John?  EHe- 
zer?  Eliezer?  Giles?  Anthony,1}  was  born  8  April,  1820,  near  the 
Village  of  Ashland,  Ashland  County,  then  part  of  Richland 
County,  Ohio.  His  mother  died  in  January,  1828,  and  he  there- 
after lived  with  his  sister,  Mrs.  Mary  Palmer,  and  with  Dr.  Wil- 
lard Slocum  (see  page  381)  in  Ashland  Village  until  the  spring 
of  1838  when  he  entered  Kenyon  College  at  Gambier,  Ohio. 
Returning  home  after  two  years  study  he  took  an  active  part  in 
the  presidential  campaign  of  1840  in  the  interest  of  the  nominees 
of  the  Whig  party,  Gen.  William  H.  Harrison  and  John  Tyler. 
About  this  time  he  taught  the  public  school  in  his  district. 

In  the  spring  of  1841  he  entered  the  office  of  the  late  Judge 
Charles  T.  Sherman  as  a  student  of  law,  and  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  in  Richland  County,  Ohio,  in  the  year  1844  with  a  class 
of  seventeen  young  men  including  Samuel  J.  Kirkwood,the  late 
U.  S,  Senator  from  Iowa  and  now  (1881)  Secretary  of  the 
Interior,  and  John  Sherman,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  during 
the  Administration  of  President  Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  and  now 
U.  S.  Senator  from  Ohio.  The  same  year  of  his  admission  to 
the  bar  he  entered  into  partnership  with  Charles  T.  and  John 
Sherman  for  the  practice  of  law  at  Ashland,  which  partnership 
was  dissolved  by  mutual  consent,  and  with  the  most  kindly  feel- 
ings by  all  concerned,  in  the  autumn  of  1847. 

He  was  married  in  East  Union,  Wayne  County,  Ohio,  16 
November,  1847,  to  Caroline  Augusta  Carr,  daughter  of  Rodney 
and  Mary  (Swan)  Carr  of  East  Union  where  she  was  born  12 
September,  1829.  Soon  after  marriage  he  entered  into  partner- 
ship with  the  late  Judge  Osborn  at  Ashland.  This  alliance 
was  dissolved  in  1855,  and  his  third  and  last  partnership  was 
formed  in  1856  with  Judge  James  Stewart  who  had  been  pre- 
siding in  the  Ashland  district  and  whose  term  of  service  had 
then  expired. 

Mr.  Slocum  was  chosen  delegate  to  the  Republican  National 
Convention  held  in  Chicago  in  June,  i860.  The  Ohio  Delega- 
tion was  instructed  to  support  Hon.  Salmon  P.  Chase  for  the 
Presidency,  but  after  the  third  ballot  so  cast  he  was  the  first  of 
that  delegation  to  vote  for  the  nomination  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 


EIGHTH  GENERATION.  389 

He  was  chosen  member  of  the  Electoral  College  that  year  from 
the  Fourteenth  Congressional  District  of  Ohio,  and  he  cast  the 
vote  of  that  district  for  the  President-elect,  Abraham  Lincoln. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Southern  Rebellion,  and  the  first  call 
for  soldiers  for  its  suppression,  he  was  active  in  his  support  of  the 
Government  and  converted  his  law-office  into  a  recruiting-office. 
He  enlisted  the  company  of  soldiers  who  were  mustered  into 
service  11  June,  1861,  as  the  first  Ohio  company  for  three  years 
service,  and  he  was  commissioned  their  captain,  but,  having  im- 
portant private  business,  did  not  assume  the  command.  Soon 
thereafter  he  accepted  an  appointment  in  the  Department  of  the 
Interior  at  Washington  but  resigned  the  same  24  November,  1861, 
preferring  a  more  active  position  in  the  support  of  the  Union. 
He  was  appointed  Provost-Marshal,  by  Gov.  William  Dennison  of 
Ohio,  and  assigned  to  duty  at  Columbus.  In  April,  1862,  he  was 
called  home  on  account  of  the  death  of  his  father  and  was  there 
detained  sometime  by  business  pertaining  to  the  estate.  Upon 
his  return  to  Columbus  he  was  detailed  as  Adjutant  to  aid  Col. 
Charles  T.  Sherman  in  the  organization  of  enlisted  men  at  Camp 
Buckingham  near  Mansfield,  Ohio.  The  i02d  and  120th  Regi- 
ments of  Ohio  Infantry  were  there  organized.  He  moved  for- 
ward with  the  120th  Regiment  in  October,  1862,  as  Adjutant, 
and  joined  the  Thirteenth  Army  Corps  at  Memphis,  Tenn.  This 
regiment  participated  in  the  Assaults  on  Vicksburgh  from  the 
Yazoo  River,  and  also  at  Arkansas  Post.  For  meritorious  con- 
duct at  the  last  named  place  he  was  commissioned  Major  the  18th 
of  March,  1863.  His  regiment  returned  to  the  vicinity  of  Vicks- 
burgh and  was  for  a  time  employed  in  digging  the  canal  projected 
as  a  new  channel  for  the  Mississippi  River.  He  participated  in 
all  the  engagements  in  the  rear  of  Vicksburgh,— Raymond, 
Thompson's  Hill,  Jackson,  Champion  Hill,  and  Big-Black, — and 
lead  the  right  of  his  regiment  in  the  charges  on  that  stronghold 
the  1 8th  and  22d  of  May,  1863.  On  the  7th  of  June  he  received 
an  order  of  detail  from  Corps  Headquarters  assigning  him  to  the 
duty  of  Inspector  General  of  the  Thirteenth  Army  Corps  which 
position  he  held  until  after  the  surrender  of  Vicksburgh,  4  July, 
1863.  About  this  time  he  was  chief  in  command  of  three  divis- 
ions of  troops  during  a  temporary  absence  of  the  officers  and  the 
advance  on  Jackson. 


390  THE  SLOCUMS  OF  AMERICA. 

He  was  commissioned  Lieutenant-Colonel  8  September,  1863, 
and  was  afterwards  placed  on  detached  duty,  and,  reaching  New 
Orleans,  acted  as  Judge  Advocate  at  Department  Headquarters. 
He  was  soon  afterward  sent  to  Brownsville,  Texas,  to  organize  a 
court-martial.  That  duty  performed,  he  was  ordered  to  report  at 
Columbus,  Ohio,  for  recruiting  service,  and  arrived  at  that  place 
in  December,  1863.  He  soon  returned  to  the  field  with  enlisted 
men  to  reorganize  the  regiment.  The  1st  of  May,  1864,  they 
were  ordered  to  join  General  Banks'  command,  then  on  the  Red 
River  Expedition,  and  they  embarked  on  the  transport  City 
Belle  with  six  hundred  and  eighty  men.  Col.  M.  M.  Spiegle  was 
chief  in  command  and  overruled  the  doubts  expressed  by  the  other 
officers  as  to.the  wisdom  of  advancing  in  that  way.  When  round- 
ing Snaggy  Point,  Red  River,  they  were  fired  into  by  masked 
batteries  which  broke  the  steam-pipe  and  disabled  the  boat,  while 
General  Major's  brigade  of  infantry,  emering  from  cover,  poured 
deadly  volleys  from  the  bank  of  the,  there,  narrow  stream. 
Colonel  Spiegle  and  other  officers  were  killed  and  the  transport's 
troops  would  probably  have  been  wholly  annihilated  or  captured 
but  for  the  drifting  of  the  boat  rapidly  down  stream  and  its 
touching  shore  thus  allowing  Colonel  Slocum  and  about  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  men  to  escape  into  the  woods.  By  a  painful  and 
hazardous  march,  continuing  through  that  day,  all  of  the  night 
and  most  of  the  next  day,  guided  by  a  negro  through  the  woods, 
and  crossing  the  river  by  swimming  and  pushing  a  pole  rack  on 
which  was  placed  their  clothing  and  guns,  they  succeeded  in 
reaching  General  Banks'  army  without  encountering  any  con- 
siderable number  of  Confederates.  During  this  march  two 
transports  convoyed  by  two  gunboats  were  seen  descending  the 
river  and  efforts  were  made  to  inform  their  officers  of  the  danger, 
but  without  success  ;  they  fell  into  the  trap  at  Snaggy  Point  and 
were  captured.  The  remnant  of  the  120th  Regiment  was  tem- 
porarily combined  with  the  42d  Ohio  Regiment,  and  Colonel 
Slocum  was  again  placed  on  detached  duty  as  Chief  of  Staff, 
and  Provost-Marshal  of  the  Thirteenth  Army  Corps,  General 
M.  K.  Lawler  commanding.  He  participated,  with  the  Fourth 
Brigade,  in  the  engagements  of  that  corps  during  the  retreat, 
and  until  it  reached  Morganza  Bend  21  May,  1864.  On  the 
25th  of   May  he  was  appointed  Provost-Marshal  of  the  Trans- 


EIGHTH  GENERATION.  391 

Mississippi  Department  with  headquarters  at  Morganza,  La. 
This  important  position  he  held  until  the  country  west  of  the 
Mississippi  River  was  practically  conquered  by  the  Union  forces. 

He  resigned  his  commission  10  January,  1865,  and  was  sur- 
prised March  13,  1865,  by  the  receipt  from  President  Lincoln  of 
a  commission  as  "  Brigadier-General  of  United  States  Volun- 
teers, by  brevet,  for  meritorious  service  in  the  field." 

In  August,  1866,  he  was  appointed  by  Gov.  John  Brough  of 
Ohio  one  of  the  two  delegates  from  that  State  to  the  National 
Union  Convention  held  that  year  in  Philadelphia.  He  received 
1  March,  1867,  the  appointment  as  Assessor  of  Internal  Revenue 
for  the  Fourteenth  Congressional  District  of  Ohio  which  office 
he  held  until  its  abolishment,  June  22d,  1872.  Since  this  date 
he  has  been  actively  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law  at  Ashland,  O. 

From  early  manhood  General  Slocum  has  taken  an  interest 
in  politics,  and  has  been  identified  with  the  Whig  and  Repub- 
lican parties  though  residing  in  a  community  which  has  been 
strongly  ^Democratic.  He  has  often  represented  his  county  in 
the  Ohio  State  Republican  Conventions,  and  has  twice  been  a 
delegate  to  National  Republican  Convention.  He  has  been 
attentive  and  successful  in  business,  and  possesses  a  competence.

Staples  and  Goulding  continuing  the  office  at  Worcester  and 
Mr.  Slocum  taking  the  business  of  the  firm  in  Boston.  In 
October,  1871,  he  admitted  his  son  Winfield  S.  to  partnership 
under  the  firm  name  of  W.  F.  and  W.  S.  Slocum,  which  partner- 
ship still  continues. 

While  in  Grafton  Mr.  Slocum  had  a  large  practice  from  most  of 
the  towns  in  the  southeasterly  part  of  Worcester  County  and 
was  engaged  in  very  many  of  the  most  important  cases  in  that 
section.  The  Reports  of  the  Decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  Massachusetts  show  that  he  argued  a  number  of  cases  before 
the  full  bench,  in  many  of  which  important  questions  of  law  and 
practice  were  discussed  and  settled.  He  united  marked  ability 
with  the  most  thorough  preparation  of  the  cases  and  many  of  the 
decisions  resulting  therefrom  will  remain  valuable  in  the  courts. 

"  He  ably  represented  Grafton  in  the  Massachusetts  Legisla- 
ture in  1 86 1,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Grafton  School  Committee 
several  years,  and  also  of  the  Board  of  Selectmen,  and  served  at 
times  as  the  Chairman  of  both  boards.     His  excellent  judgment

Prof.  Philo  Mills8  Slocum  {Oliver  E.,7  Eleazerf  David? 
Ebenezer?  Eliezer?  Giles?  Anthony,1  )  was  born  5  April,  1831,  in 
Tolland  Township,  Hampden  County,  Massachusetts,  and  mar- 
ried Henrietta  Beach  who  was  there  born  18  November,  1829. 
He  was  a  reporter  in  the  United  States  Congress  four  years 
from  1853,  then  entered  the  Normal  School  in  Westfield,  Mass., 
and,  after  two  years  study,  was  employed  as  teacher  in  that  insti- 
tution— principally  in  the  Department  of  Natural  Science — 
which  position  he  occupied  until  his  death  which  occurred  10 
October,  1861.  In  the  spring  of  1861  he  was  employed  as  lect- 
urer in  the  Teachers'  Institutes.  A  co-laborer,  in  a  long  obitu- 
ary published  in  The  Massachusetts  Teacher  for  August,  1862, 
wrote  of  him  as  follows  : — 

Mr.   Slocum   possessed   those  qualities  which  pre-eminently 


fitted  him  for  the  work  he  had  chosen.  He  was  patient  in  acquiring  and 
communicating  truth.  He  investigated  the  most  familiar  subjects  with 
so  much  zeal  and  patience  that  he  was  able  to  present  the  principles 
of  the  sciences  he  taught  in  all  the  freshness  of  newly-discovered  truths. 
He  was  noted  for  his  originality,  and  his  great  inventive  power,  as 
well  as  his  equal  facility  in  communicating  what  he  had  conceived.  . . 

"  He  had  begun  the  preparation  of  a  work  on  Physical  Geography, 
and  another  on  Natural  History Had  the  ardor  of  his  enthusi- 
asm been  less  intense  he  might  have  been  longer  with  us  but  less  suc- 
cessful in  accomplishing  the  object  of  his  life.  As  we  review  his  few 
but  active  years  as  a  teacher  we  realize  the  force  of  the  truth  that 
earnest  thought  and  noble  action  are  a  far  better  measure  of  life  than 
years.  ...  A  gentleman,  now  a  member  of  the  bar,  who  had  known 
Mr.  Slocum  from  childhood,  says  that  he  never  knew  him  to  lose  his  good 

temper His  analytical  method   of  investigating  truth,  and  the 

candor  which  it  induced  ....  annihilated  all  doubts  of  the  reality  of  the 
religion  of  Christ  ....  and  those  minds — and  there  are  many  such — 
that  have  been  warmed  into  a  higher  life  by  the  ardor  of  his  spirit,  will 
never  cease  to  feel  the  force  of  his  example 

"  His  influence  still  lives.  The  results  of  his  intellectual  labor  for  his 
classes  are  yet  with  us,  and  in  our  cabinets  are  the  trophies  of  his  toil." 

His  widow  resides  in  Springfield,  Massachusetts.     Children  : 

i.  Charles  Mills,  born  19  July,  1854,  in  Tolland,  Mass.     He 

has  been  in  the  employ  of  the  City  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  for 

the  last  seven  years  as  assistant  civil-engineer.     Unmarried. 

ii.  Philo  Milton,  born  18  February,   1862.     He  is  employed 

with  the  engineers  of  the  City  of  Springfield,  Mass.

County,  New  York,  18  November,  1842,  and  was  reared  in 
Broome  County,  and  Tioga  County,  New  York. 

He  was  in  Georgia  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion,  and  was 
enrolled  for  service  in  the  Confederate  Army  about  1  August, 
1 861,  in  the  "  Camden  Rifles,"  which  company  first  served  in  the 
26th  Regiment  Georgia  Infantry,  and,  later,  in  the  13th  Regiment. 
This  company,  being  familiar  with  the  Coast  of  Georgia,  was 
afterward  armed  with  Sharps'  carbines,  and,  being  mounted  to 
form  a  part  of  the  4th  Reg.  Ga.  Cav.,  was  detailed  for  service 
along  the  coast — first  on  the  Sea  Islands  so  long  as  they  were 
tenable,  then  along  the  water  courses,  protecting  the  salt-works, 
plantations,  etc.  They  occasionally  met  detachments  of  Union 
troops,  and  in  their  skirmishes  he  lost  two  horses  and  re- 
ceived some  personal  injuries.  Not  being  able  to  remount,  he 
was  transferred  to  an  artillery  battalion  from  which  he  was 
detailed — before  it  saw  action — to  work  at  his  trade  of  machinist 
and  engineer.  After  about  eighteen  months  thus  passed  in  the 
counties  of  Camden,  Wayne,  and  Appling,  they  were  ordered  to 
Savannah,  where  he  was  continued  as  machinist  for  three  months, 
and  was  then  appointed  Third  Assistant  Engineer  C.  S.  N.,  and 
was  ordered  to  Charleston,  S.  C,  in  September,  1864.  He  there 
remained  in  charge  of  the  dry-dock  until  that  city  was  taken 
by  the  Union  forces,  16  February,  1865.  He  was  retained  as 
prisoner  of  war  until  3  May,  1865,  when  he  was  paroled  at 
Augusta,  Ga.,  and  six  days  thereafter  he  engaged  as  second  engi- 
neer of  a  United  States  transport  between  Savannah  and  Augusta. 

He  married,  in  Savannah  13  September,  1865,  Anna  Maria 
Flanagan  who  was  born  in  Albany,  N.  Y.,  3  September,  1844, 
daughter  of  John  and  Margaret  (Sweeny)  Flanagan.  They  have 
resided  in  Savannah,  Ga.,  since  marriage.     Children:

*  Much  of  this  sketch  is  adapted  from  the  Memoirs  of  Rhode  Island  Officers,  a 
quarto  volume  written  by  Hon.  John  R.  Bartlett  who  was  Secretary  of  State  of 
Rhode  Island  a  number  of  years,  and  well  qualified  to  produce  an  authentic 
history.  See,  also,  Rhode  Island  in  the  Rebellion,  by  Edwin  R.  Stone  ;  The 
Second  Rhode  Island  Regiment,  by  Augustus  Woodbury  ;  and  the  records  of 
Providence,  and  of  Rhode  Island. 

Major  Ballou  of  the' Second  Rhode  Island  Regiment  was  also  killed  in  the 
Battle  of  Bull  Run  and  was  buried  with  Colonel  Slocum  temporarily  on  the  field. 
Major  Ballou's  body  was  exhumed,  mutilated,  and  burned,  by  the  Confederate 
soldiers.  The  book  entitled  Brown  University  in  the  Civil  War  reads  :  "The 
testimony  of  Governor  Sprague — who  visited  the  battlefield  to  recover  these  bodies — 
is  most  interesting.  Tt  confirms  the  worst  reports  of  the  barbarity  of  the  rebel 
soldiers,  and  conclusively  proves  that  the  body  of  one  of  the  bravest  officers  of  the 
volunteer  service  was  burned.  He  does  not  hesitate  to  add  that  this  fiendish 
desecration  of  the  honored  corpse  was  committed  because  the  rebels  believed  it  to 
be  the  body  of  Colonel  Slocum  against  whom  they  were  infuriated  for  having  dis- 
played so  much  courage  in  forcing  his  regiment  fearlessly  and  bravely  upon  them."

Giles  Bryan9  Slocum  (Jeremiah?  Giles?  Jonathan?  Joseph? 
Giles?  Samuel?  Giles?  Anthony?)  was  born  in  Saratoga  Town- 
ship, Saratoga  County,  New  York,  11  July,  1808.  He  received 
his  early  education  in  the  public  schools  of  his  neighborhood, 
and  passed  three  winters  as  teacher  of  public  schools  in  Saratoga 
County  and  one  winter  in  teaching  near  Lockport,  N.  Y.  He 
spent  the  summer  of  1830  on  a  farm  near  the  Au  Sable  River 
in  northeastern  New  York. 

In  the  year  1831  he  went  to  Ohio  and  there  assisted  in  sur- 
veying the  Village  of  Vistula,  the  name  of  which  was  soon  there- 
after changed  to  the  present  name  of  Toledo  ;  and  he  conducted 
the  first  store  there,  and  also  engaged  in  preparing  the  timber 
for  the  first  wharf  at  that  place.  At  the  death  of  his  father  in 
1832  he  returned  to  Saratoga  and  purchased  the  interest  of  the

NINTH  GENERATION.  457 

other  heirs  in  the  homestead.  The  following  year  he  went  to 
Michigan  and  spent  the  winter  of  i833~'34  in  the  stave  business 
at  the  head  of  Swan  Creek  Bay,  now  Newport,  where  he  also 
opened  a  general  store  and  soon  succeeded  in  making  it  a  steam- 
boat landing.  Among  other  pioneer  experiences  he  paddled  a 
canoe  from  Jackson,  Michigan,  down  the  Grand  River  to  Grand 
Rapids  in  the  spring  of  1834.  The  following  summer  he  estab- 
lished the  first  store  and  wharf  at  Truxton,  now  Trenton,  a  few 
miles  below  Detroit,  and  continued  the  mercantile  business  there 
with  little  intermission  for  many  years. 

He  married,  in  1838,  Sophia  Maria  Brigham  Truax,  daughter 
of  Major  Abraham  C.  and  Lucy  (Brigham)  Truax  of  Trenton, 
of  which  village  Major  Truax  was  the  founder.  After  marriage 
the  subject  of  this  sketch  (having  sold  the  homestead  in 
Saratoga,  N.  Y.,)  extended  his  purchases  of  Michigan  lands  and 
devoted  most  of  his  time  to  their  improvement  and  to  sheep- 
raising — becoming  and  continuing  the  most  extensive  wool- 
grower  in  Michigan  between  the  years  1840  and  1855.  He  at 
one  time  owned  the  land  for  a  distance  of  three  miles  along  the 
west  bank  of  the  Detroit  River,  with  the  island  in  that  river 
known  as  Slocum's  Island.  During  the  last  forty  years  he  has 
directed  the  clearing  and  bringing  under  cultivation  of  over 
fifteen  hundred  acres  of  heavily  timbered  land  in  Michigan.  He 
was  also  engaged  from  1843  until  185 1  in  driving  piles  and 
building  wharves  at  Detroit,  Windsor,  Springwells,  Trenton, 
Sandwich,  Gibralter,  and  Grosse  Isle. 

About  the  year  1848  he  contracted  with  the  officials  of  Wayne 
County,  Michigan,  to  build  two  bridges  across  Rouge  River 
and  receive  wild  lands  in  payment  therefor.  He  made  choice  of 
and  received  for  this  work  lands  in  the  eastern  part  of  Muskegon 
County,  Michigan,  and  he  afterward  added  to  his  domain  by  pur- 
chases from  individuals,  the  State,  and  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment. In  1859  he  and  Mr.  Charles  Mears  of  Chicago,  Illinois, 
platted  the  present  Village  of  Whitehall  in  Muskegon  County, 
Mich.,  and  he  now  holds  the  proprietary  right  of  one-half  of  the 
land  within  the  limits  of  that  thriving  village,  and  also  of  large 
tracts  in  its  vicinity.  All  of  this  property  has  become  valuable 
through  the  extension  of  railroads  and  the  rapid  development  of  its 
agricultural  resources.  He  has  erected  mills  at  Slocum's  Grove,

Muskegon  Co.,  Mich.,— a  hamlet  and  postoffice,  about  twenty- 
four  miles  north  by  west  of  Grand  Rapids,  named  in  his  honor, — 
where  he  conducts  a  large  business  in  lumbering  and  farming. 

Slocum  Junction  on  the  Canada  Southern  Railway  near  Tren- 
ton, Wayne  Co.,  Mich.,  was  also  laid  out  on  his  land  and  was 
named  in  compliment  to  him. 

Mr.  Slocum's  life  has  been  not  only  one  of  great  success  but 
it  has  been  a  career  based  on  correct  business  principles  and  as 
such  it  is  worthy  of  study  and  imitation.  With  all  of  his  energy 
and  enterprise,  and  in  his  extensive  operations,  he  has  always 
done  business  exclusively  on  his  own  capital, — has  never  mort- 
gaged his  property  or  given  his  note  for  borrowed  money,— and 
thus  has  been  enabled  to  stand  erect  through  all  of  the  commer- 
cial inflations,  revolutions,  and  contractions  of  his  time.  He  still 
lives  in  Wayne  County  ;  postoffice  Trenton,  Mich.*     Children  :

Samuel  and  Elizabeth  (Hamblin)  Pitkin.  Dr.  Pitkin  was  a 
native  of  Hartford,  Vermont,  and  served  as  Surgeon  of  the  32d 
Regiment  N.  Y.  I.  in  the  War  of  181 2.  On  account  of  his 
wife's  failing  health  Mr.  Slocum  sold"  his  property  in  Clinton 
County,  N.  Y.,  and  passed  one  year  in  traveling.  They  dwelt

Mr.  Slocum  acted  with  the  Anti-slavery  party  from  the  year 
1845.  In  1848  he  was  a  delegate  from  the  Twenty-first  Con- 
gressional District  of  Pennsylvania  to  the  Buffalo  National 
Convention  where  Martin  Van  Buren  was  nominated  for  President 
and  Charles  Francis  Adams  for  Vice-President  of  the  United 
States ;  and  he  was  the  Free-Soil  candidate  for  Presidential- 
Elector  in  his  congressional  district  during  that  campaign. 
Brownsville  was  a  "  station  of  the  Underground  Railroad " 
between  Virginia  and  Canada,  and  his  sympathy  and  influence 
were  fully  enlisted  in  favor  of  the  negroes  desiring  to  escape  from 
bondage.  In  a  letter  to  the  writer  of  this  sketch,  under  date  of  8 
Nov.,  1880,  he  expressed  himself  in  substance  as  follows  :  "  I  feel 
great  satisfaction  at  my  opposition  to  human  slavery.  I  have  from 
early  manhood  continued  firm  in  my  belief  that  freedom  should  be 
national  and  apply  to  all  classes  alike."    Children,  all  by  first  wife  :

Beloved,  lamented,  and  resigned — she  died."

in  the  year  1864,  and  the  settlement  of  his  father's  estate  as  exec- 
utor in  1865.  In  the  summer  of  1866  the  Faculty  of  Albion 
College — the  late  Rev.  George  B.  Jocelyn,  D.  D.,  President, — 
unanimously  recommended  him  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 

He  commenced  the  study  of  medicine  in  Albion  with  Surgeon 
O'Donahue  and  continued  that  study  during  the  college  year  of 
1867-68  in  the  University  of  Michigan,  where  he  also  passed 
much  time  in  the  Laboratory  of  Analytical  and  Applied  Chemis- 
try and  completed  the  fuller  courses  in  that  department.  The 
summer  of  1868  was  passed  in  the  office  of  the  late  Prof.  Zina 
Pitcher  and  Dr.  David  O.  Farrand  in  Detroit,  and  also  in  a 
course  of  recitations  to  the  physicians  who,  in  the  autumn  of  that 
year,  organized  the  Detroit  Medical  College.  He  entered  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  New  York  City,  the  Med- 
ical Department  of  Columbia  College,  and  was  there  graduated 
Doctor  of  Medicine  1st  March,  1869,  in  impaired  health — having 
a  slight  affection  of  the  right  lung.  At  the  solicitation  of  his 
brother,  Dr.  John  C.  Slocum,  and  the  professional  advice  of  one  of 
his  teachers,  Dr.  John  T.  Metcalfe  of  New  York,  he  entered  into 
partnership  with  his  brother  at  Shelbyville,  Ind.,  in  April,  1869, 
where  country  riding  in  the  practice  of  his  profession  improved  his 
health  until  the  next  March  when  his  pulmonary  trouble  returned. 
He  then  passed  a  season  in  the  South  and  some  months  along 
the  Atlantic  Coast  and   in    Philadelphia;  and   in  July,  1871,   he

in  Warwick  Township,  Rhode  Island,  16  May,  1834.  At  the

lehem 28  August,  1862,  as  a  private  soldier  in  Co.  C,  78th  Regt.

the  Confederates,  or  all  that  his  regiment  met  with  from  the  one

first  movement  at   Stone  River  where  he  was   on  detail  with  a 

comrade,  P F.  Hartzel,  to  keep  up  fictitious  camp-fires  from 

fences  in  front  of  Gen.  Thomas  J.  (Stonewall)  Jackson's  corps  ; 
and  so  successful  was  their  ruse  that  this  branch  of  the  Confed- 
erate forces  was  apparently  held  in  check  for  several  hours.  The 
last  day  of  the  Battle  of  Stone  River  he  was  struck  by  two  buck- 
shot— one  inflicting  a  wound  near  the  right  eye  and  the  other 
passing  through  the  second  finger  of  his  left  hand.  While  he  and 
seven  comrades  were  guarding  a  signal  station  in  Dade  County, 
Georgia,  filled  with  the  sick  and  wounded,  they  were  taken  pris- 
oners by  the  Confederates  22  September,  1863.  He  was  con- 
fined in  Libby  Prison  where  he  was  reduced  in  weight  from  152

Company,  2d  Battalion,  Veteran  Rifle  Corps  and  was  with  this

educated  in  Warsaw  Academy,  in  Hobart  College,  Geneva,  and 
in  the  University  of  Buffalo  where  he  was  graduated  M.  D.  26 
February,  1861. 

He  entered  the  United  States  Navy  (regular)  29  October, 
1861,  as  Assistant  Surgeon  ;  was  in  actions  in  Hampton  Roads 
and  James  River,  Virginia,  and  was  taken  prisoner  of  war  by 
the  Confederates  at  City  Point  in  1862  and  confined  at  Salisbury, 
N.  C,  and  Richmond,  Va.,  for  six  months — four  months  as  hostage 
and  in  close  confinement— and  then  unconditionally  released. 
He  was  assigned  as  Surgeon  of  the  iron-clad  U.  S.  Steamship 
Keokuk  and  was  with  her  7  April,  1863,  in  the  Action  with  Fort 
Sumter  where  she  was  disabled  and  sunk.* 

*  "  During  this  year  (1863),  the  events  of  the  greatest  moment  along  the  seaboard 
occurred  at  Charleston.  Such  was  the  confidence  then  felt  in  the  ability  of  iron- 
clads to  resist  the  heaviest  cannonade  that  Rear-Admiral  Samuel  F.  Dupont  at- 
tempted, April  7th, to  run  past  the  batteries  and  enter  the  harbor  of  that  city.  The 
little  fleet,  mounting  only  thirty-two  guns,  accordingly  moved  up  the  channel  ;  but 
the  vessels  were  stopped  by  obstructions  and  held  under  the  concentrated  fire  of 
three  hundred  cannon.     The  Keokuk,  which  was  in  advance,  was  struck  ninety-

Joseph  Slocumb  was  a  merchant  at  Atlanta,  Georgia  (?),  in 
the  eighteenth  century.  No  date  definitely  relating  to  his 
history  has  been  ascertained,  nor  the  place  of  his  birth,  marriage, 
or  death.*     His  children,  so  far  as  determined,  were  :

Rev.  John  Charles  Slocumb  (Joseph^  married  first,  Lavinia 
Axley  (?),  and  second,  Mary  Beck  ;  was  married  by  Rev.  Daniel 
McHenry,  Methodist  Episcopalian.  His  occupation — as  reported 
by  different  descendants — was  that  of  shoemaker,  farmer,  and 
minister  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church.  He  was  a  soldier 
in  the  Revolutionary  War  ;  dwelt  in  Georgia  until  after  the  year 
1783  (?),  then  removed  to  Kentucky,  and  thence  some  years  later 
to  Concord,  White  County,  Illinois,  where  he  died  and  was  hur- 
ried in  Slocum  Cemetery  with  his  second  wife.  Children,  per- 
haps not  born  in  the  order  here  given  ;  the  first  child  was  by  his 
first  wife  but  it  is  not  known  definitely  as  to  the  others  : 

647.  i.  Samuel,  b.  23  Nov.,  1783  j  m.  Mary  A.  Beck  ;  d.  about  1856.

iv.   Elizabeath,  m.  Ransom  Hall.     v.  Fanny,  m.  Reason  Hall. 

*  One  report  received  by  the  writer  reads  that  this  Joseph  Slocumb  and  his  son 
John  Charles  were  born  in -England  ;  but  the  writer  has  received  so  many  similar 
reports  concerning  individuals  of  families  which  had  a  history  of  several  generations 
in  America,  that  he  does  not  give  credence  to  such  statements  unless  they  can  be 
authenticated  by  record,  or  seem  very  probable  from  strong  circumstantial  evidence. 

Many  persons  removed  from  New  England  to  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Mary- 
land, the  Carolinas,  etc.,  during  the  eighteenth  century  and  it  might  readily  be 
surmised  that  this  "  Joseph  Slocumb  "  was  identical  with  the  "  Joseph  Slocum  " 
who  was  admitted  freeman  of  Newport,  R.  I. ,  in  the  year  1727  and  whose  history  there 
ceases  with  that  date  so  far  as  the  writer  has  been  able  to  determine.    See  ante  page  54. 


AND  THEIR  ALLIANCES.  487 

646 

Col.  Ezekiel  Slocumb*  (Joseph,)  was  born  in  Craven  County, 
North  Carolina  (?),  about  the  year  1750.  He  married  Mary 
Hooks  of  Bertie  County,  a  sister  of  the  Hon.  Charles  Hooks  who 
was  a  member  of  the  U.  S.  Congress  from  the  year  18 16  until 
1825.  They  settled  on  a  plantation  which  may  now  be  seen  by 
the  traveler  over  the  Wilmington  Railway  one-mile-and-a-half 
south  of  Dudley  Station,  N.  C.  He  entered  the  Revolutionary 
Army  at  an  early  date  and  served  throughout  the  war.  He  was 
a  Lieutenant  in  the  Battle  of  Moore's  Creek,  N.  C,  27  Feb.,  1776. 

"  An  anecdote  is  told  of  the  wife  of  Lieutenant  Slocumb,  who  was  as 
heroic  as  himself.  After  her  husband  departed  she  saw  him  in  a  dream 
lying  dead  on  the  ground.  Awaking  in  great  distress,  she  arose,  sad- 
dled a  horse,  and  rode  at  full  gallop  through  the  swamp  in  the  direction 
taken  by  the  troops.  At  nine  in  the  morning  she  neared  the  battle- 
field. One  of  the  first  objects  she  saw  was  the  Lieutenant's  cloak 
wrapped  around  a  body  stretched  upon  the  ground.  With  sinking 
heart  she  dismounted  and  found — not  her  husband,  but  one  of  his 
wounded  men.  She  washed  his  face,  bound  up  his  wounds,  and  was 
performing  the  like  office  to  a  second  sufferer  when  her  astonished  hus- 
band came  up.  She  remained  all  day  caring  for  the  wounded — loyal- 
ists as  well  as  the  others — with  true  Samaritan  kindness.  At  midnight 
she  started  for  her  home  where  a  mother's  duties  were  required.  In 
less  than  forty  hours  this  remarkable  woman  rode  one  hundred  and 
twenty-five  miles,  spending  the  time  when  out  of  the  saddle,  not  in 
taking  rest  but  in  dressing  wounds."! 

Lieutenant  Slocumb  rose  to  the  rank  of  Colonel  before  the 

close  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  afterward   "  Colonel 

Slocumb  held  every  office  of  honor  and  trust  in  the  gift  of  the 

people  ;  and  all  were  honorably  and  ably  filled." %     He 

was  a  member  of  the  North  Carolina  House  of  Commons  from 
the  year  1812  until  1818. 

"  Colonel  Slocumb  lived  a  married  life  sixty-five  years  in  a  state 
of  connubial  happiness  as  great  as  ever  fell  to  the  lot  of  any 
man."|     He  and  his  wife  died  near  Dudley,  N.  C, — she,  6  March,

John  Charles  Slocumb  {Jesse,  Ezekiel,  Joseph,}  was  born  5 
April,  181 1,  at  Spring  Bank,  Wayne  County,  North  Carolina,  six 
miles  southeast  of  the  City  of  Goldsborough.  He  married,  in 
Duplin  County  28  February,  1833,  Rachel  Rebecca  Wright,  the 
youngest  daughter  of  the  late  Col.  Thomas  and  Eliza  (Beck) 
Wright,  of  Duplin  County  where  she  was  born  21  December, 
181 5.  Her  father  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolutionary  War.  After 
marriage  they  settled  on  a  plantation  four  miles  south  of  Golds- 
borough  and  there  resided  until  1st  April,  1855,  when  they  re- 
moved to  the  City  of  Goldsborough  where  he  died  21  Aug,  1881. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Wayne  County  Special  Court  for  thirty 
years,  and  was  Chairman  of  the  Inferior  Court  several  years. 

In  the  year  1834  he  was  converted  under  the  ministry  of  Rev. 
John  Tillett,  and  uniting  with  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church, 
South,  at  Goldsborough,  he  soon  became  one  of  its  most  promi- 
nent members,  and  served  as  delegate  to  the  District,  Annual, 
and  General  Conference.  The  Transcript  and  Messenger,  and 
The  Methodist  Advance,  of  Goldsborough,  each  printed  a  long 
obituary  and  biographical  sketch  showing  his  worth  as  a  citizen, 
and  his  consistency  and  power  as  a  professed  christian — attribu- 
ting to  his  influence  the  high  type  of  christian  character  and 
fellowship  which  has  existed  in  the  Goldsborough  church.  The 
Quarterly  Conference  of  this  church  prefaced  a  series  of  resolu- 
tions, eulogistic  of  his  life  and  services,  as  follows  : — 

"  A  prince  in  Israel  has  fallen.  We  mourn  the  death  of  a  brother, 
honored  and  beloved,  whose  devotion  to  God  and  His  Church,  whose 
strong  and  unswerving  faith  in  His  Word  and  Providence,  whose  spot- 
less character  and  peaceful  death,  attest  the  sanctifying  and  saving  form 
of  the  Gospel  and  bequeath  to  the  church,  of  which  he  was  for  more 
than  forty  years  a  bright  and  shining  light,  a  legacy  which  we  gratefully 
cherish,  and  an  example  worthy  of  our  imitation."

and  in  September,  1859,  entered  the  Sophomore  Class  of  Trinity 
College  but  was  obliged  to  discontinue  study  early  in  the  junior 
year  on  account  of  failing  health.  In  January,  1 861,  he  entered 
the  North  Carolina  Military  Institute  at  Charlotte,  then  under 
the  superintendency  of  Major  D.  H.  Hill,  who  afterward  became 
a  Major-General  in  the  Confederate  Army. 

Mr.  Slocumb  enlisted  in  the  Rebellion  1  June,  1861,  as  a  pri- 
vate soldier  in  the  Goldsboro'  Rifles  which  afterwards  served  as 
Co.  A,  27th  Reg.  N.  C.  I.  They  remained  at  Fort  Macon  until 
1st  March,  1862,  and  were  then  ordered  to  New  Berne  where  they 
participated  in  the  battle  of  March  15th.  At  the  reorganization 
of  the  Confederate  Army  in  April,  1862,  he  was  chosen  First 
Lieutenant  of  his  company.  He  commanded  the  company  dur- 
ing the  seven  days  fighting  around  Richmond,  from  Mechanics- 
ville  to  Malvern  Hill.  He  participated  in  the  first  Maryland 
Campaign  and  was  present  at  the  Capture  of  Harper's  Ferry  by 
the  Confederates,  15  September,  1862.  After  the  Battle  of 
Sharpsburgh  he  resigned  his  commission  on  account  of  poor 
health,  and  re-enlisted  the  following  spring  as  a  private  in  Co.  H 
1st  Reg.  N.  C.  Cav.  and  participated  in  the  campaign  of  1863 — 
including  the  Battle  of  Gettysburgh — until  August  1st  when  he 
was  wounded  in  the  left  forearm  at  the  Battle  of  Brandy  Station. 
Erysipelas  and  gangrene  supervened  and  nearly  destroyed  his 
life.  In  the  autumn  of  1864  he  was  appointed  by  Gov.  Zebulon 
B.  Vance,  Assistant  Adjutant  General  of  North  Carolina  troops 
with  the  rank  of  First  Lieutenant  of  Cavalry,  which  position  he 
held,  with  headquarters  at  Raleigh,  until  the  close  of  the  war —

THE   SLOCOMBS   OF    AMERICA. 


666 

The  names  of  Simon  and  Abigail  Slocombe  (the  surname 
spelled  in  different  places  as  Slocomb,  Slocom,  Slocum,  anc1 
Slocumb,)  have  recently  been  found  in  the  early  records  of 
Wrentham  Township,  Norfolk  County,  Massachusetts.  No 
mention  has  been  found  of  the  relationship  which  existed 
between  them  ;  and  whether  they  were  descendants  of  Edward 
Slocombe,  page  35,  or  of  Samuel  Slocum,  page  54,  or  were  of 
a  separate  immigration,  has  not  been  determined.  Considerable 
time  has  been  spent  by  the  writer  endeavoring  to  ascertain  the 
names  of  their  parents,  but  without  success.  The  following 
gleanings  represent  their  history  so  far  as  determined : 

667.  Simon  Slocombe,  mar.   1st, ,  and  2d,  Abigail . 

668.  Abigail  Slocombe,  married  Baruch  Pond  4  December,  1728. 


667 

Simon  Slocombe,  tradition  says,  removed  from  Boston  to  that 
part  of  Wrentham  Township,  Massachusetts,  from  which  the 
present  Township  of  Franklin,  Norfolk  County,  was  organized. 
His  name  first  appears  in  the  general  records  of  Wrentham  (as 
"  Simon  Slocum")  appended — with  forty-seven  other  names — to 
"a  petition  to  the  great  and  General  Court  in  June,  A.  D.  1736," 
for  a  separate  church  in  Wrentham.  This  petition  was  success- 
ful, for  a  church  was  organized  16  February,  1738,  with  twenty- 
four  members,  including  the  subject  of  this  sketch.  We  further 
read  that  "  The  deed  of  an  acre  of  land  from  Thomas  Man  for  a 
meeting  house  lot  was  accepted  nth  September,  1739,  and  put 
for  safe-keeping  into  the  care  of  Simon  Slocum."  It  is  also 
recorded*  that  "  Simon  Slocum  was  a  prominent  member  of  the

precinct  and  filled  many  offices  ;"  and,  again,  that  "  Simon  Slo- 
comb"  was  Precinct  Clerk  in  Franklin  for  the  years  1740,  '41, 
'43,  '48,  and  '52,  and  that  he  afterward  removed  to  Medway,  Mass. 
It  is  presumed  that  he  was  twice  married  ;  first  to ,  and  sec- 
ond to  Abigail  .      His  children  by  first  wife  (place  of  birth 

not  ascertained,  and  perhaps  not  born  in  the.  order  here  given), 
were  (?) : 

669.  i.  John,*  born  about  1720;  m.  Experience  Healy;  d.  in  18 17. 
ii.  Sarah,  mar.  Johnson  and  resided  in  Wrentham,  Mass. 

iii.   Mary,  mar.  Thayer  and  resided  in  Bellingham,  Mass. 

Children  by  second  wife,  recorded  in  Wrentham  with  the  sur- 
name "  Slocum  "  : 

iv.  Lois,  was  born  13  April,  1732,  and  died  30  November,  1736. 

v.  Esther,  born  17  Nov.,  1733;  m.  John  Hall,  23  April,  1761. 

vi.  Abigail,  born  14  April,  1736;  died  5  March,  1737. 

670.  vii.  Samuel,  b.  24  June,  1738;  m.  Miriam  Richardson  in  1763. 
viii.  Chloe,  born    12   Feb.,   1740-1;  died  12  December,  1741. 

ix.  Susannah,  born  23  June,  1745. 

x.  Eleazer,  born  23  November,  1747.  He  was  a  soldier  in 
the  Revolutionary  War;  was  at  the  "Lexington  Alarm" 
in  1775,  an(l  was  corporal  in  Capt.  Joel  Fletcher's  Com- 
pany of  "  Minute  Men "  under  Colonel  Doolittle.f  He 
resided  in  Templeton,  Mass.;  died  25  September,  1820. 

xi.  Metcalf,  b.  15  Nov.,  1751 ;  was  Ensign  in  a  military  comp'y- 

xii.  Jeremiah,  born  10  January,  1754.      He  was  a  soldier  in  the 

Revolutionary  War ;  was  a  corporal  in  the  Secret  Expedition 

of  1 777,t  and  afterward  served  as  Ensign. 

xiii.  Achilles,  born  10  June,  1756;  was  Lieut,  in  a  military  co. 


668 

"Abigail  Slocumb"  married  Baruch  Pond  4  December, 
1728,  perhaps  in  Wrentham  Township,  Massachusetts,  where 
the  record  appears.  Their  children  are  recorded  in  Wrentham 
as  follows  : 

i.  Lydia  Pond,  born    14  April,    1731,  in  Wrentham,   Mass. 

ii.  Jerusha  Pond,  born  in  Wrentham,  Mass.,  20  Oct.,  1735. 
iii.  Jabez  Pond,  born  8  January,  1839-40,  in  Wrentham,  Mass. 
iv.  Lois  Pond,  born  in   Wrentham,   Mass.,  31   August,   1744. 

*  Mr.  Blake  in  his  History  of  Franklin  Township,  Mass.,  writes  that  "Simon 
and  John  Slocum  were  probably  brothers,  as  the  similarity  of  their  children's  names 
indicates  a  common  ancestry."  This  fact  is  evidence  to  the  writer  that  they  were 
father  and  son  ;  and  the  dates  confirm  this  view.

John  Slocomb  {Simon,)  was  born  about  the  year  1720,  and 
was  married  18  December,  1747,  to  Experience  Healy  of  Re- 
hoboth,  by  Rev.  Henry  Messenger.  Their  marriage  is  recorded 
in  Wrentham  Township,  Norfolk  County,  Mass.,  but  he  resided 
in  that  part  which  was  organized  as  Franklin  Township  a  few 
years  later.  The  records  of  the  church  which  his  father  was 
active  in  organizing  there,  show  that  "John  Slocomb"  became

ruary,  1759,  daughter  of  John  and  Abigail  Richardson.  He  was 
generally  known  as  "  Billy  ;"  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolutionary 
Army,  and  served  in  Providence  and  Warwick,  R.  I.,  in  1776.* 
For  this  service  he  afterward  received  a  pension.  He  commenced 
life  poor  but  by  industry  and  economy  he  accumulated  propertv 
amounting  to  about  $11,000,  Continental  paper-money,  which  he 
invested  in  "fashionable  silk  pocket-handkerchiefs"  as  a  specula- 
tion. This  adventure  proved  unfortunate,  as  he  could  dispose  of 
his  purchase  for  only  $47.25  which  then  included  all  of  his  pecu- 
niary estate.  With  a  feeble  wife  and  several  small  children 
depending  on  him  for  their  support  he  began  work  anew  and  suc- 
ceeded in  securing  a  competence  for  his  old  age.  They  removed 
in  the  year  1784  from  Franklin  Township  (formerly  part  of 
Wrentham)  to  Sutton,  Mass.,  where  they  died — she,  30  May,

farmer  ;  was  possessed  of  great  powers  of  endurance,  a  social 
disposition,  keen  powers  of  observation,  a  remarkable  good  mem- 
ory, and  a  kind  and  generous  nature.  Nothing  delighted  him 
more  in  later  life  than  to  gather  his  grand-children  about  his  open 
fire  on  a  long  winter-evening  and  recount  to  their  willing  ears 
the  story  of  his  early  experiences,  and  incidents  of  the  Revolu-

5  l8  THE  SLOCOMBS  OF  AMERICA 

Marietta,  Ohio,  where  she  died  29  October,  1839.  He  married 
second,  May  10,  1840,  Siba  H.  Buell  of  Marietta,  an  aunt  of 
Maj  -Gen.  Don  Carlos  Buell.  They  removed  to  Rochester,  N. 
Y.,  in  the  year  1855,  and  there  he  died  9  May,  1873. 

"  The  religious  character  of  Mr.  Slocomb  was  marked  and 
decisive,  and  the  power  of  a  personal  consecration  was  strongly 
and  deeply  felt  in  many  fields  of  Christian  effort."*  He  united 
with  the  church  in  Sutton  at  the  age  of  seventeen  years,  and 
"  he  was  the  prime  mover  in  the  formation,  in  May,  1812,  of  the 
religious  charitable  society  for  Worcester  County,  Mass.,  which, 
with  some  similar  institutions,  resulted  in  the  American  Educa- 
tional Society  in  Boston "  (See  the  Fiftieth  Annual  Report  of 
this  society).  Upon  his  removal  to  Marietta,  Ohio,  in  1816,  he 
there  organized  a  Sunday  school  which  was  probably  the  first 
school  of  the  kind  west  of  the  Alleghany  Mountains.  He  also 
became  actively  interested  in  general  education.  He  engaged 
in  teaching,  and  he  wrote  an  arithmetic  which  was  quite  exten- 
sively used  in  the  schools  of  the  West.  He  contributed  largely 
to  the  support  of  Marietta  College,  and  to  its  library,  beside 
sustaining  several  young  men  in  its  classes.  The  building 
which  contains  his  donation  of  books  was  named  "  Slocomb 
Hall"  in  his  honor.  "  111  health  compelled  him  to  abandon  his 
favorite  occupation  of  teaching,  and  he  engaged  in  mercantile 
business  from  which  he  retired  as  the  infirmities  of  age  in- 
creased." He  was  an  elder  in  St.  Peter's  Church  (Presbyterian) 
Rochester,  N.  Y.,  during  the  last  seventeen  years  of  his  life. 
There  were  no  children  born  to  him  but  he  adopted  one,  Elizabeth 
Carter,  who  afterward  married  Joseph  Ward,  a  graduate  of 
Marietta  College,  grandson  of  Hon.  Levi  Ward  of  Rochester, 
and  nephew  of  Mr.  Slocomb's  second  wife.  They  had  two 
children :  William  Slocomb  who  died  at  the  age  of  eleven 
months,  and  Fanny,  who  resides  in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  with  her 
parents  (?).

wagons  almost  literally  lined  the  road  from  this  town  to  Boston.

Appendix. 


The  families  and  names  recorded  in  this  Appendix  have  been 
gathered  from  personal  reports,  directories,  and  various  other 
sources.  The  writer  has  not  been  able  to  connect  them  with 
the  preceding  families,— in  most  cases  probably  for  want  of 
more  complete  reports.  Some  are  doubtless  descendants  of 
Simon  Slocombe  (page  500),  and  others  perhaps  of  the  Slocumbs 
(pp.  486  et  seq.),  while  a  few  of  the  names  are  probably  the 
result  of  errors  in  the  directories  where  names  like  Slaum, 
Sloman,  Sluman,  Stocom,  Stockham,  Stockholm,  Stockman, 
Stoughton,  etc.,  may  have  been  recorded  as  Slocum.*  It  is  also 
probable  that  some  of  the  names  in  this  list  are  identical  with 
names  recorded  on  the  preceding  pages. 

All  persons  named  herein  who  may  be  able  to  connect  their 
pedigree  with  the  preceding  families  or  trace  the  same  to  other 
sources,  and  everyone  who  can  add  in  any  way  to  the  record  of 
any  family  or  person  named  herein,  are  respectfully  requested  to 
communicate  such  knowledge  as  fully  as  possible  to  the  writer  who 
will  probably  publish  a  supplement  to  this  book  in  a  few  years.

Reuben  Slocum,  in  his  early  manhood,  resided  in  the  south- 
eastern part  of  New  York  State  (Duchess  County  ?).f     He  mar- 

*  For  the  years  1879  anc^  1880  the  name  of  John  F.  Sloper,  janitor  of  the  New 
York  City  Hall,  has  been  printed  as  "  John  F.  Slocum  "  in  the  directory  of  that  city. 

The  writer  has  endeavored  to  learn  from  "Daniel  Stocum "  of  Big  Flats, 
Chemung  Co.,  N.  Y. ,  "Dr.  C.  W.  Stocum"  of  Morenci,  Lenawee  Co.,  Mich., 
and  from  "Daniel  R.  Stocum"  proprietor  of  a  general  store  at  Cedar  Springs, 
Kent  Co.,  Mich.,  the  etymology  of  their  surname,  and  their  genealogy,  but  without 
success.  One  "Theodore  D.  Stocum,"  aged  thirty  years,  enlisted  in  New  York 
14  August,  1861,  against  the  Rebellion  as  a  private  soldier  in  Co.  I,  1st  Regt. 
Mounted  Rifles;  and  "John  Stocum"  was  commissioned  Captain  of  Co.  E,  1st 
New  York  Artillery,  at  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  21  October,  1 861,  for  service  against  the 
Rebellion  ;  he  was  then  aged  thirty-eight  years. 

f  Perhaps  he  was  a  son  of  Samuel6  Slocum  and  removed  with  his  brothers  Samuel 
and  Jesse  from  Shrewsbury,  N.  J.,  to  Duchess  County,  New  York.  See  ante  pp. 
82,  107,  and  108.

Aye,  thus  it  is  !     One  generation  comes, 

Another  goes  and  mingles  with  the  dust. 

And  thus  we  come  and  go,  and  come  and  go — 

Each  for  a  little  moment  filling  up 

Some  little  space.     And  thus  we  disappear 

In  quick  succession.     And  it  shall  be  so 

Till  time  in  one  vast  perpetuity 

Be  swallowed  up.  Anonymous. 


So  live,  that  when  thy  summons  comes  to  join 
The  innumerable  caravan,  which  moves 
To  that  mysterious  realm,  where  each  shall  take 
His  chamber  in  the  silent  halls  of  death, 
Thou  go  not,  like  the  quarry-slave  at  night, 
Scourged  to  his  dungeon,  but,  sustained  and  soothed 
By  an  unfaltering  trust,  approach  thy  grave, 
Like  one  who  wraps  the  drapery  of  his  couch 
About  him,  and  lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams. 

William  Cullen  Bryant.
